Vintage Yamaha Fg-160e Acoustic/electric Fully Refurbished With 2 Small Problems

THERE ARE A FEW SMALL PROBLEMS I HAVE TRIED TO EXPLAIN AND POINT OUT. THE ORIGINAL METAL BRIDGE SADDLE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH ANOTHER SLIGHTLY HIGHER METAL BRIDGE SADDLE, BUT I WILL STILL INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL ONE SHOWN IN IMAGES 2 AND 4. FRET NUMBER TWO HAS STRTED TO LIFT ON THE BASS SIDE UNDER THE 6th STRING ONLY ON ONE SIDE. IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED OR RE-FITTED BUT STILL PLAYS PERFECTLY MAYBE GIVING A SLIGHT FRET RATTLE WHEN PLAYED HARD AND CAN BE SEEN IN IMAGE NUMBER 6.

THE ORIGINAL VOLUME CONTROL HAS BEEN REPLACED AT SOME TIME IN THE PAST, BUT STILL PLAYS PERFECTLY. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DENTS, SCRATCHES, MARKS, AND IMPERFECTIONS WHICH CAN BE SEEN IN THE 12 IMAGES.

THIS WONDERFUL VINTAGE YAMAHA FG-160E BOASTS THE FOLLOWING HIGH QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS. SPRUCE TOP - BEAUTIFUL MAHOGANY BACK AND SIDES - MAHOGANY NECK - ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD WITH PEARL DO INLAYS - ROSEWOOD BRIDGE - BLACK AND WHITE FRONT EDGE BINDING - BLACK BACK EDGE BINDING - SIMPLE SOUND-HOLE MAGNETIC PICK-UP WITH SIDE JACK SOCKET - TORTOISE SCRATCH-PLATE - ORIGINAL YAMAHA JAPAN CHROME MACHINE HEADS.

THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN DONE TO TRY AND BRING THE WONDERFUL COLLECTABLE VINTAGE YAMAHA FG-160E BACK UP TO A GREAT PLAYING AND SOUNDING CONDITION. THE WHOLE MAHOGANY BODY AND NECK HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND POLISHED - THE SPRUCE TOP HAS BEEN CLEANED AND POLISHED - THE ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD HAS BEEN CLEANED AND POLISHED, THEN TREATED WITH LEMON OIL HELPING TO PRESERVE THE TIMBER AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION - THE ROSEWOOD BRIDGE HAS BEEN CLEANED AND POLISHED, THEN TREATED WITH LEMON OIL HELPING TO PRESERVE THE TIMBER - THE ORIGINAL BRIDGE METAL SADDLE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A SLIGHTLY HIGHER METAL ONE, BUT THE ORIGINAL ONE WILL STILL BE INCLUDED AND SHOWN IN IMAGE NUMBER 4 - THE FRETS HAVE BEEN CLEANED, DRESSED WHERE REQUIRED AND THEN POLISHED, BUT STILL SHOW SIGNS OF BEING WELL USED AND FRET NUMBER 2 IS LIFTING SLIGHTLY UNDER THE 6th STRING SIDE - THE ORIGINAL YAMAHA JAPAN CHROME MACHINE HEADS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO PIECES, CLEANED AND ADJUSTED AND ARE WORKING PERFECTLY - THE ELECTRONICS HAVE BEEN TESTED AND ARE WORKING PERFECTLY ALTHOUGH THE ORIGINAL VOLUME KNOB HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IS NOT ORIGINAL - FINALLY I HAVE RE-STRUNG WITH A NEW SET OF LIGHT GAUGE METAL BRONZE 11-52 STRINGS.
