Yamaha FG-295S-1

The Yamaha FG-295S-1 was produced between 1974 and 1977, with the "-1" suffix appearing in a small font on the label — small enough that some owners overlook it as part of the model number. Depending on the year of manufacture, examples may carry a tan label (1972–1975), black label (1974–1977), or orange label (1974–1985), making label identification a useful dating tool. The guitar features a spruce top with mahogany back and sides and a toog neck.
