Yamaha FG-450S
The Yamaha FG-450S is a dreadnought produced from 1985 to 1989 with a solid spruce top, ovangkol back and sides, and a nato neck. Examples may carry either an orange label, used on Japan-made instruments through 1985, or a white oval label, used on Taiwan-made instruments from 1977 through 2001, making the label the primary tool for determining a guitar's origin. The headstock featured a Dove logo, replaced by a Leaf logo in 1987. No players are documented.
