Second Hand 1970s Yamaha FG-401W Made in Japan in Natural w/OHC
Step back into the glory days of acoustic guitars with this stunning classic late 70's or 1980's Yamaha FG-401W, straight out of Japan’s legendary “Orange Label” era when Yamaha was building some of the most beloved workhorse acoustics on the planet. This isn’t just another old guitar—this is the one that players from coffeehouses to campfires swore by for decades.
The Yamaha FG-401W was produced primarily between 1975 and 1978, designed for the Japanese domestic market and not widely distributed internationally. It sounds warm, clear projection, typical of well-built vintage acoustics. This model draws inspiration from Gibson's "Hummingbird" and "Dove" designs, evident in its ornate pickguard and aesthetic details.
