Suzuki F-180 12 string guitar, the serial number begins with 44. With the dating systems Suzuki used this places it at 1969. My job was to bring it back to playing condition.

2022-04-12: The first order of business was to replace the missing inlay work, as this guitar had lost over half its inlays and the rest were warping and falling out (real shell doesn't warp). I had some vintage real mother of pearl here so I decided to replace all of the original warped plastic inlays. They look a lot better than the sock inlays.


It still has the original nut, but the small section between the two low E strings had chipped away. As this is the original bone nut, I opted to repair the small section using bone dust and super glue rather than cut a new one.
