Yamaha FG-435T

The Yamaha FG-435T was produced only in 1986, making it a brief single-year variant within the FG-435 family. It shares the same spruce top, nato back, sides, and neck as the standard FG-435, but features a tinted lacquer top finish distinguishing it from the black-finish FG-435BL sibling released the same year. The 1986 production date places it in the Dove logo era, which ran from 1985 to 1987. Guitars from this period carry the white oval label used on all Taiwan-built Yamaha FGs from 1977 through 2001. No players are documented using this model.
