[SN 1488988] USED YAMAHA / FG150 [11]

[SN 1488988] USED YAMAHA / FG150 [11]

A legendary "Red Label" model that epitomizes the early Yamaha FG series.

Manufactured from the late 1960s through the early 1970s, the FG150 is a model that combines a compact, folk-sized body with ease of playability, while offering a lively, responsive sound. Despite its laminated construction, the relatively thin top design produces a crisp, snappy tone when strummed and a clear, resonant midrange when played with vocals.

This particular instrument is from the "Nippon Gakki" Red Label era. It fully embodies the characteristic dry tone and quick response of the FG series, making it a guitar that successfully balances vintage charm with practicality.
There is a chip in the wood at the neck heel. The headstock logo is slightly faded.
Overall, there are scratches, dents, and metal rust, showing signs of use.
The lower frets of the neck are reverse-bowed, with a kink on the 6th string side, resulting in twisting and warping. The frets have been leveled, and there are currently no issues with playability.
Condition Grade: B: Shows significant wear and signs of use, but is fully functional for normal use
