1971 Yamaha FG-300 Jumbo Acoustic Guitar with Original Hard Case

Fairfield, Ohio, 450**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$2000

I am selling my 1971 Yamaha FG-300 acoustic guitar (Nippon Gakki) for a luthier repair project
The flaws: The body top is bulging under the bridge. The pickguard is lifting and a previous owner tried to glue it back with super glue. It didn't hold. There are 5 or so droplets of super glue on the top near the pickguard. I am not going to attempt to remove
Since I will probably never play this guitar, I am offering it up for sale.
