Yamaha FG-470SA

The Yamaha FG-470SA was produced from 1989 to 1995 and carries a white oval label, the label style Yamaha used on Taiwan-built guitars from 1977 through 2001. The guitar features a spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, and a nato neck. No players have been documented in association with this model. The white oval label is among the most reliable dating tools available to buyers and collectors examining this instrument, placing any example with that label firmly within the Taiwan production era rather than the earlier Japan-built period of the FG line.
