Vintage MIJ Fender F - 15 Acoustic Guitar W/ Case 1978 Japan Orchestra
Item History & Price
Vintage Japan Fender F-15 Case Queen! Original Case
I bought this guitar from the original owner not long ago, he received it as a gift from his dad over 40 years ago. According to him, his dad bought it for him to take lessons with; he never could get the hang of it so it's been basically untouched for decades. He said he always kept it in the house, under beds mostly, he would occasionally take it to get the strings cha...nged out. There are a few finish scratches, and some places where the finish has started to thin. Besides that it's a 40 year old guitar that looks 5 years old! Plays great, I lowered the action a little, neck is straight and snug, never had a neck reset. Has adjustable truss rod, a volute, and adjustable saddle. Projects very well and is loud for its size, with some new strings it would be good to gig or record with.
Spruce top, mahogany body and neck, rosewood headstock, rosewood fretboard, and ebony bridge, adjustable TR and saddle. All original MIJ guitar!
Scale=25.5"
Nut=1-5/8"
12th=2-1/16"
Neck is not chunky at all, it's like a rounded C profile, to me it plays really easy. Action could be possibly be lowered a little bit more if needed. In my opinion, this guitar is much better than the junk Fender acoustics of the last 20+ years. Very cool headstock shape, unique and was only used for a short time.
