Yamaha FG-440-12

The Yamaha FG-440-12 is a twelve-string acoustic guitar produced from 1985 to 1989, featuring a spruce top with mahogany back, sides, and neck. Guitars from this period carry either an orange label (used on Japan-made examples through 1985) or a white oval label (used on Taiwan-made examples through 2001), making the label a practical starting point for buyers dating their instrument. The headstock transitioned from a Dove logo to a Leaf logo in 1987. No notable players are documented.
