Yamaha FG-351SB

The Yamaha FG-351SB is a dreadnought built in Japan and Taiwan from 1977 to 1981, introduced as part of the FG-3XX series. It features a spruce top, laminated rosewood back and sides, and a nato neck, with a cherry sunburst finish, block fretboard inlays, and a decorative pickguard. Depending on origin and production year, examples may carry a black label, orange label, or white oval label. Owners describe a powerful, bass-heavy voice with strong projection, and these are sometimes called vintage sleepers in the acoustic market.
