Yamaha C-300 Nippon Gakki-made Classical Guitar

Yamaha C-300 classical, made in Japan at the renowned Nippon Gakki factory. This model was being manufactured between mid70s and early 80s. Not sure which year this exact guitar comes from. Looking at the serial number it can be: 1980.

Despite its age of over 45 years, this guitar remains in very good condition. Considering the age I would say that conditions is excellent. There are very superficial marks that are only visible if you look very closely. Neck is almost straight with some natural bow with action is comfortable.

The guitar has been cleaned up with fresh strings on. The frets have been cleaned and polished and look really nice. The fretboard has been conditioned.

The guitar is comfortable and sounds excellent.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The guitar was manufactured almost 50 years ago. It should be noted that this is not a new instrument. Therefore, expectations should be managed accordingly. I made all my efforts to set it up, however if you require adjustments or improvements, or if you simply wish to adapt it to your personal preferences, I would advise you to consider taking the instrument to your local guitar shop or luthier to make it personalised in terms of the action of the strings, the height of the nut and the bridge saddle, to the possible extent.
