Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech, this venerable Yamaha is ready to join you at your next jam session or casual gig. We have a soft spot for these old Yamahas because they were often the first good guitar that budding musicians could afford back in the day. This one is in Good condition with normal wear and tear for an instrument of this age, including scratches, dings, finish loss and discoloration. This guitar didn't sit in a closet---it was played.
Great country western-style pickguard. Original fingerboard inlays are intact. It had a neck reset at some point in its life. Grovers were added, but the guitar is mostly original and even comes with its original hard shell case. That's something we don't see very often. Read below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage products as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
