Amateur, rusty, old, guitar hacker, Yamaha FG180

...at the request of a friend, Niles. Niles... shot this "first time" clip right after we spoke. You're getting all the mistakes. Thanks again, Niles, for the unexpected phone call. I eagerly wait to hear from the Geezers when you get a chance. Dan

the fg180 is the Elliot Smith´s stage guitar!

[onionwind]

Elliot was a great songwriter and performer. Sad story. I didn't know about his choice of guitar. Thanks for the info.

Hello, Nice playing there... I have 69 Yamaha fg180..Great guitar... Is yours made in Japan... Does it say Nippon Gakki in side the sound hole?? Thanks..

[onionwind]

Yes, the red label says Nippon Gakki. I think the guitar is late 60's, like yours. When I bought it on eBay four years ago, the seller said there was some 'delamination' of the fretboard. Only when I received it did I realize that the neck had been clean broken off and glued up by the head. The fretboard delamination was an area around this which was easily repaired. One other issue is the peg holes in the bridge are splitting making changing strings tricky.

and some top end frets.they were such good guitars.
