Yamaha FG-150 1968

This is an FG-150 “Red Label” model, estimated to have been manufactured in 1966 based on its serial number.

While it shows significant signs of wear with numerous scratches and dents overall, there are no cracks in the wood or any history of repairs related to them. There are also no signs that strap pins or pickups have ever been installed. The frets have about 50% of their original height remaining. The tuning pegs appear to have been replaced.

The neck is in good condition, with string action measuring 3.2 mm on the 6th string and 2.6 mm on the 1st string at the 12th fret. There is also about 2 mm of saddle material remaining.

It has a rich volume, long sustain, and a solid, resonant mid-to-low-frequency tone.

Although it may not be original to the instrument, it comes with a genuine Yamaha hard case.
