Picking up the guitar again

When I tried to restart a few years ago i noticed that my calluses on the fingers really took a long time to harden up and that was not fun.

I can't speak for Mik, but I probably had a head start with my hand calluses....
I was only joking

You are a lefty?

I am a lefty, but I play the guitar like a righty, which might explain why I suck.

Yeah, it won't be. I've switched to Ernie Ball very light strings for that very reason. But the guitar has always had a wonderful tone and a pretty low action. It's from when Martin was making Goyas. I can't find out anything about that particular model online though, which is odd.

Gemini comes through again. I don't know why I even bother with web searches anymore.
That is a fantastic gift! The Goya G-380 is a high-quality "Lawsuit Era" instrument known for its craftsmanship. Based on the model and serial number you provided, here are the details:Manufacturing Location & DateYour guitar was made in Japan in approximately 1977.The Maker: During this period (roughly 1976–1996), the Goya brand was owned and distributed by C.F. Martin & Co. (the legendary Martin Guitar company).
After Martin acquired the brand, they moved production from Sweden to Japan to compete with the high-quality Japanese imports of the time.The Workshop: Most Goya acoustics from this specific "Martin-era" in the late '70s were built by the Terada workshop in Nagoya, Japan. Terada is highly respected in the guitar world and has built for brands like Gretsch, Ibanez, and Orville by Gibson.

About the G-380 Model - The G-380 was a premium model in the Goya lineup at the time. It is a Dreadnought style acoustic, generally featuring:Solid Spruce Top: Highly prized for its resonance and "aging" qualities.Rosewood Back and Sides: Known for providing a deep, rich bass and clear trebles.A "Martin-esque" Feel: Because these were overseen by C.F. Martin, they often mimic the bracing patterns and neck profiles of classic Martin D-series guitars.It’s a "sleeper" vintage guitar—highly durable and often sounding much better than its price tag suggests. Enjoy playing it!

The simplest way to do an F to C conversion on the guitar is to buy a capo.
