It's an old used one, so there are some scratches overall, but you can play it without any problems. There are no accessories such as a case or a stand. The string height is high because the nut was replaced with a new one. Adjust the height to your liking. Please check the image to see how the fret is reduced. There are markings on the left and right sides of the red label
Please check photo for condition. YAMAHA Acoustic Guitar Model: FG-150 Year: about 1970 This is a vintage guitar from over 50 years ago. Without case. Condition It's pre-owned item. There are some scratches and rust.
The FG/FS series, which was introduced in 1966 as Yamaha's first domestic folk guitar and is still loved today.
The original "FG-150" is famous for its red label, but we have received an individual from the light green label period, which was the earliest before the red label.
Since there is a stamp of 41.1.13 on the inside of the body, it is thought to have been manufactured in 1967.
Although it is made entirely of plywood, it has excellent sound, and due to its age, it has a voluminous sound and excellent sound projection!
The neck has a slim V-shape that makes it easy to grip.
In terms of condition, the nut and saddle are low, but there is a bulge in the top of the body due to aging, and the string height is currently set high at about 3.5 mm on the 1st string side above the 12th fret and 4 mm on the 6th string side.
As a result, it sounds good in low positions, but you may feel difficulty playing in high positions.
- Compact Body Design: The concert-sized body offers a more comfortable playing experience, especially for those who prefer a smaller guitar. Despite its size, it delivers a full and balanced tone.
- Vintage Tonal Quality: The combination of a spruce top and mahogany back and sides results in a warm, resonant tone that has matured beautifully over the decades.
- Green Label Significance: The mid-green label indicates a specific production period, making this guitar a collectible piece of Yamaha's rich history.
- Lightweight and Portable: At a slightly smaller size and weight, the FG-170 is ideal for traveling musicians or players who prioritize portability without sacrificing sound quality.

This is an FG-180 that was on sale from 1966 to 1972!
The light green label is said to have been on sale for about two years from 1966 to 1968, so it's a rare piece.
The specs are simple, with a spruce top, mahogany sides and back, mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard, but it sounds amazing!
There are signs that a strap pin was added to the neck end and has been repaired, and the bridge saddle has been replaced.
The peg for the 2nd string has been changed, but it is a very old peg and it is unclear when it was replaced.
The peg button is included.
The YAMAHA logo on the head top has been intentionally scraped off.
The case is also original, and comes with a tuning fork and wrench from that time.
