Very old thread that I have read and re-read several times. In a shop nearby there were two FG180s, they remained unsold for years (until 2018) and when I finally decided to buy one I found they were gone.
Fortunately about six months ago I found an used one for a very reasonable price in mint conditions, it has become one of my favourite guitars, it's SLIGHTLY less resonant than my HD28V, but just a little, and definitely better than many standard D-18s I tried. The only drawback is imo the thick finish that dampens the top resonance but I would say the and fingerboard are more comfortable than my Martin. I post here some pics and I recommend the guitar to anyone who can find one and I also recommend to change pins, saddle and nut with bone, it improves clarity and high end.
