Vintage Yamaha FG-160 Acoustic Guitar

Vintage Yamaha FG-160 acoustic guitar being played unplugged recorded by the microphone on the A6000 Sony Camera. For anyone wondering the guitar is tuned to DADGAD.

Seeing the black label inside the sound hole, that would make it an FG160-1. They were made between 1974 and 1977.

Laminated spruce top I believe and laminated sides. Incredible what good bracing can do!

Sounds nice! I assume you swapped out the strings... What strings did you put in? And did you do anything else to it?

[@ChristopherFreedom]

Nick R. Hi Nick.. I leveled the frets. . Lowered the action and set the relief. The strings are Elixir Nanowebs 80/20. Thank you for your comment.

Is that the Japan Nippon Gakki version or the Korean? It sounds amazing.
