Yamaha FG-180J

The Yamaha FG-180J was produced from 1974 to 1975. Guitars from this period may carry one of three label variants depending on manufacture date and origin: the tan label, used from 1972 to 1975 in Japan and Taiwan; the black label, used from 1974 to 1977 in Japan and Taiwan; or the orange label, used from 1974 to 1985 in Japan only. Identifying the label inside a specific example is one of the most reliable ways for buyers to date it. Construction features a spruce top with mahogany back, sides, and neck. No players have been documented in association with this model.
