Please read my 7 days return policy at the bottom of the page

*************************************************************************************

If you are thinking about a purchase of a used vintage guitar you need to accept the fact that such guitars may have cosmetic flaws solely associated with their age, but not related to any particular damage. For example their finishes change their look over the years and are not glossy and crystal clear like on brand new guitar. In addition, such guitars may require fret dressing, new tuners, string action adjustment or a simple repair before they can be fully enjoyed. I see guitars as musical instruments, not as furniture. When I describe guitar as being in excellent condition I don't talk only about its cosmetics but mostly about its structural & functional condition, sound and playability. If you are seeking a perfect looking, low maintenance guitar you should abandon a thought about buying used vintage one, especially from me.

                Yamaha FC36 Flamenco Concert Guitar

This guitar model was being made between years 1986-1993 by Yamaha Corporation and never distributed in USA. It was made at Yamaha’s Taiwanese “factory”.  

It is absolutely very high grade flamenco concert guitar!

Its MSRP was 350 000 yen. Made at the same time at Yamaha’s Hamamatsu factory, model FC50 (MSRP 500 000 yen) was of exactly the same quality, just priced higher.

Japanese guitar factory (Gakki) as company name can be quite misleading for many unaware guitar lovers. These Japanese workshops were no different from any other luthier’s workshops. The difference was that instead of being led by one Master Luthier (owner) they employed a team of equally skilled luthiers, working together and supporting each other in order to produce a “perfect” product. These luthiers (often times not known by their individual name), represented their company (the label), were totally loyal to the bosses (owners) and had to put their egos aside. Only the best of the best were allowed to put their signatures on the labels. 

To the contrary to what many unexperienced buyers believe, Yamaha’s factory in Taiwan was no different from Yamaha’s factory in Japan, it employed Taiwanese and Japanese luthiers, who were making very high grade guitars, just at lower cost.

This guitar remains in truly excellent condition. It doesn’t have any cosmetic flaws that would be visible without a magnifying glass. It is in perfect working condition. Picture #9 reveals light cloudiness within the finish on the back of the neck. It is only visible in very intensive camera’s flash light, but is completely not visible in regular light.

This guitar plays easy and sounds fantastic. It is very light and super-responsive and loud. It produces traditional flamenco sound with raspy, almost metallic basses, clear ringing trebles, all well balanced with very impressive sustain. 

Its action is set to 2.50 mm under E6 and 2.00 mm under E1. You’ll be surprised how many “Spanish made” “flamencos” can’t be set to such low action without terrible buzzes. In order to achieve such low action slotted part of the bridge has been sand down by 2 mm.

Returns

If you are not happy with your purchase you may return the guitar for a refund of a purchase price of a guitar.  The cost of shipping both ways will not be refunded.

All you need to do is to:

1.    Notify me within 5 days after delivery

2.    Pack guitar the same way I do it, using the same box and materials

3.    Ship it back to me within next 2 days

Another words I expect this “trail” period to occur within +/- 7 days. Naturally guitar has to be returned in the same condition as I ship it to you. This is simply honest offer for honest buyers. My goal is to make your purchase as risk free as possible. I know very well that spending $1000 of hard earned money is not emotionally easy undertaking for majority of guitar lovers. I am sure that reading my feedback can ease a bit your “purchase anxiety” but it still will be there no matter how hard I try.
