For years it was my only decent guitar, but for a much longer time now it's been sitting in my closet all dusty and un-played...

Recently I pulled it out of the closet and re-strung it and had some work done to it at Buffalo Brothers which is nearby... This guitar has a neck like a tree trunk but man what tone!

Brian,
I somehow didn't respond to your post, and I apologize for that. That FG-230 is a beauty. I'm sure it sounds good too.

I bet being a 12 string, that didn't result in a neck back-bow problem???
