Yamaha FG-402
The Yamaha FG-402 was produced from 1975 to 2001 and passed through several label eras useful for dating individual examples: the tan label ran from 1972 to 1975 covering Japan and Taiwan production, the black label from 1974 to 1977 also spanning both countries, the orange label from 1974 to 1985 for Japan only, and the white oval label from 1977 to 2001 for Taiwan only. Top woods documented across the model's run include Spruce, Spruce, and Ezo; back and sides appear in Nato, Rosewood, and Coral variations; and neck woods include Nato, Mahogany, and African. The source text notes a spruce top, rounded "C" neck profile, rosewood fingerboard, and a three-piece back construction. No players are documented in association with this model.
