Warm greetings from Japan. Thank you very much for visiting our listing. Yamaha FG-580 acoustic guitar This vintage guitar, known for its soft and vibrant sound, was manufactured between 1972 and 1973 by Yamaha. It shows signs of age-appropriate wear such as marks , small dents, and repair marks on the body. Additionally, the truss rod cover on the neck is missing. However, there are no significant damages or deteriorations that would affect playing, and it is still in a condition that can be used effectively. Since its release, the FG-580 has been popular for its distinctive tapered head, powerful body size, and soft, vibrant, and solid sound. Its unique form, not found in Yamaha guitars today, continues to captivate acoustic guitar enthusiasts. It can be said that this Yamaha vintage guitar will become increasingly difficult to acquire in the future. It will be delivered in a hard case, although the hard case is partially deteriorated .
The FG/FS series, which was introduced in 1966 as Yamaha's first domestic folk guitar and is still loved today.
The original "FG-150" is famous for its red label, but we have received an individual from the light green label period, which was the earliest before the red label.
Since there is a stamp of 41.1.13 on the inside of the body, it is thought to have been manufactured in 1967.
Although it is made entirely of plywood, it has excellent sound, and due to its age, it has a voluminous sound and excellent sound projection!
The neck has a slim V-shape that makes it easy to grip.
In terms of condition, the nut and saddle are low, but there is a bulge in the top of the body due to aging, and the string height is currently set high at about 3.5 mm on the 1st string side above the 12th fret and 4 mm on the 6th string side.
As a result, it sounds good in low positions, but you may feel difficulty playing in high positions.
This is an FG-180 that was on sale from 1966 to 1972!
The light green label is said to have been on sale for about two years from 1966 to 1968, so it's a rare piece.
The specs are simple, with a spruce top, mahogany sides and back, mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard, but it sounds amazing!
There are signs that a strap pin was added to the neck end and has been repaired, and the bridge saddle has been replaced.
The peg for the 2nd string has been changed, but it is a very old peg and it is unclear when it was replaced.
The peg button is included.
The YAMAHA logo on the head top has been intentionally scraped off.
The case is also original, and comes with a tuning fork and wrench from that time.
Featuring a solid spruce top and Nyatoh (New Jacaranda) sides and back, this guitar produces a rich, dry tone that has matured beautifully over its 50-year lifespan. The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard add to its comfortable playability and balanced sound. This instrument is perfect for collectors and players seeking a piece of vintage Yamaha history.
