FG-2000

Hello from Arizona.

Found this forum last month while looking for some info on an FG-2000 I've had for the last 41 years.  I bought this in Okinawa when I was in the Air Force in 1978 1979.  It has gone back and forth from the Far East to the southeast and southwest US a number of times, so I guess you can say it's been humidified and dehumidified a lot.  It's spent the last 20 odd years in Arizona, so that might explain the small cracks in the back and bridge.  A little bit of glue has kept the cracks from getting any worse.  Also recently had the frets leveled and crowned, which greatly improved the action.  Other than the cracks and fret work, it's suffered a few small bumps and dings that don't affect function.  The guitar sounds great or so I've been told.  But I'll have to take others peoples word for that since I now wear hearing aids after years around heavy machinery.

I recently retired from a second career, so I decided to get serious about my guitar playing so I can start a third career as a rock star.  My next door neighbor also just retired, but he has been playing since high school so he's been trying to teach me something besides the dreaded Stairway To Heaven.  Anyone know where I can get a good deal on some spandex pants with built in support hose?

Included a couple of pictures including one of my daughter and the guitar right after I got it.  I even have the original receipt!
