What size guitar is Yamaha FG 75?
00-size
The FG-75 is essentially a 00-size body with a solid Spruce top and laminate back and sides. Under the hood, it is ladder-braced, which makes it a great fingerpicking guitar with bluesy bite and growl. It has a 24.9″ scale length, and a 1-3/4″ nut width.
What size is Yamaha FG 75?
It has a 25″ scale length and a 1 23/32″ (hair over 1 11/16″) nut width and sports a medium, C-shaped neck profile. It handles sort-of like a Gibson LG-2 or B-25 but the body is all-ply in construction and fan-braced rather than x-braced.
What is the difference between the Nippon Gakki FG’s?
The labels are nearly identical to the Japan FG’s Red labels except without the words “Nippon Gakki” and the tuning fork symbol moved to next to the model number. The Taiwan Red Label FG’s were made for export, while the Tan Label Nippon Gakki FG’s where made for Japan.
What kind of headstock does a Yamaha FG 180 have?
They have the familiar red Nippon Gakki label, the larger Yamaha headstock logo, and the Yamaha truss rod cover with the 3 tuning fork symbol. Although they used the bell shaped “REINFORCED NECK” truss rod cover until mid-1968, a way to visually date the earliest FG’s. The FG-140, FG-150 & FG-180 continued with the wider flared headstock shape.
Are there any Nippon Gakki red label FG’s with 8 digit serial numbers?
I’ve found Nippon Gakki Red Labels with 8 digit serial numbers ranging from an FG-180 with 10001471 (which makes no sense) & no date code, and the latest an FG-75 with 20829541 (no date code) (mid-1972). I’m assuming these were models made for Japan. I have found a few Red label Nippon Gakki FG’s without a visible serial number.
What year did the Yamaha FG Series start?
Despite the green labels the Nippon Gakki red label is considered as the start of the FG series. I’m not sure about the exact year but around 1971 – 1972 (Yamaha mentiones 1972 as the start of “overseas” production) Yamaha changed to a white label for the Japanese market and kept the red label for the export markets.
