Made in Taiwan from the late 1970's to early 1980's. From Japan Yamaha moved some production of classicals to Taiwan. Just serviced, cleaned and polished the frets, oiled the fingerboard, serviced the tuners and clean and polished the guitar and installed new normal tension strings. Good to go for several more years. Excellent low action. The volume of this guitar is amazing, it's a boomer. Ready for a new home with nothing left to do but enjoy it. Normal wear for a 45 year old guitar.
