no repairs, structural damage.It comes with a new set of Martin strings installed ready to play out of the box. This guitar has the preferable a nice MEATY U Shaped Premium Mahogany one piece solid NECK, the frets are still good, The Rosewood is gorgeous too it looks to be Premium grade as well.You will not be disappointed with this guitar at this price the sound is rich like a an expensive $1,000+ guitar, big tone. This guitar has a good history of care its a California guitar where the climate is stable and quite favorable to guitars and was adult owned & loved. The action is very EZ to play and the TONE is simply wonderful.The Condition is very good++ to excellent vintage it is not mint,and it is not has natural minor play wear and dings associated with a well loved and played quality guitar it has all the rich patina now of a true vintage acoustic and is quite beautiful in its own right. This era exhibits just the same just as nice woods as those Japanese big dollar players but ' SOME' not all are hidden treasures and are still a real bargain today when compared to the Japanese Red Label versions or a Martin or even Japan made models of this quality.fit & finish & the materials on this guitar are very nice! This guitar does not take the back seat to the Red Label Nippon Gakki version at all. We have had many of these Red Labeled Yamaha's in the 180's & 160's currently and over the years I see up close and in person the very high grade AA mahogany neck s sides & back & the same nice nickel tuners & hardware the very same one piece solid neck no scarf joint at the back of the headstock area like the later Korean & Chinese examples. These components were used under strict quality control and 100% assembled in Korea from the very same vintage wood - components & parts as the Japan made Yamaha's. These early issue Red Label Guitars from Korea utilize the very same materials that were made in Japan. This is a Gorgeous MARTIN style REPLICA and for the money compares very well to the original in quality materials used.sweet vintage SPRUCE TOP now wonderfully ambered in color from age just too cool, The Back - Sides & Neck are all made from choice AAA Mahogany just what you would expect from an expensive Martin or Gibson.only you would expect to pay much more for one of those, but this is a rare early non 'Nippon Gakki' model with the Red Label from Korea. Its Sound is truly WELL beyond its price point someone will be very pleased.
