Yamaha FG-152
The Yamaha FG-152 is a dreadnought produced from 1975 to 1978 in both Japan and Taiwan. Its top is spruce, with African mahogany back and sides and a nato neck. Depending on when and where a given example was built, it may carry one of several labels: the tan label (used in Japan and Taiwan from 1972 to 1975), the black label (Japan and Taiwan, 1974–1977), the orange label (Japan only, 1974–1985), or the white oval label (Taiwan only, 1977–2001). Survivors that made it back from Japan tend to come with chipboard cases and the original orange label intact. Sun fading on the top finish is common on these. No players are documented in association with this model.
