The FG-450, bearing the green label, was produced during this 1972-1975 timeframe. While specific details about the FG-450's construction and features are limited, it is understood to be part of Yamaha's effort to expand their acoustic guitar lineup during the early 1970s. The green label signifies its production in Japan, aligning with Yamaha's practice of using label colors to denote manufacturing periods and locations.
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.
