1972 Red Label FG-180

Picked this up for a decent price because it had a broken heel and the neck was a little wonky. The heel fix was really clean, almost imperceptible. The neck and action was more work. The neck had some serious relief in it with the action at the 12 fret unplayable. I lubed the truss rod, and set the relief to neutral but then it turned out the nut was so worn that the 3rd and 4th string were buzzing on the first fret. After making a new nut and doing a fret level, it plays great.
