Yamaha FG-412SB

The Yamaha FG-412SB is a 12-string flattop produced from 1977 to 1981, featuring a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a Nato neck. Its floral pickguard design references Yamaha's earlier "bird" series guitars. Labels vary by production origin and era: black labels appeared on guitars from Japan and Taiwan between 1974 and 1977; orange labels are Japan-only from 1974 to 1985; white oval labels indicate Taiwanese manufacture and run from 1977 to 2001. No notable players are documented.
