Yamaha FG-400D
The Yamaha FG-400D is an orange-label dreadnought built at Nippon Gakki in Hamamatsu, Japan, from 1980 to 1986, intended for the Japanese domestic market with no US distribution. It carries a solid Ezo spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, and a nato neck, with abalone binding and gold Yamaha tuners distinguishing it visually from plainer orange-label models. guitars produced during this period will carry either an orange label, used on Japanese-built instruments from 1974 to 1985, or a white oval label, which identifies Taiwan-built examples from 1977 to 2001—a useful distinction for buyers dating a specific instrument. Owners describe a balanced voice that leans bright. Stable splits at the bottom bout and finish clouding from humidity exposure are common patterns on surviving examples.
