Up for sale is an incredibly rare piece of acoustic guitar history: a first-year, 100% authentic Yamaha FG-150 "Light Green Label" from January 1967.

This guitar has some normal wesr and tear for a 60 yo guitar. Minor marks, pick guard as limited peeling. 4 mm on 12th fret. I do not know if the neck has been reset at any time prior to me owning it.

Historical Authenticity Notes:

• Label: Original Light Green label, which has naturally aged into a beautiful vintage greenish-tan/pistachio patina over the last 60 years.

• Headstock: Period-correct plain "YAMAHA" text logo with no tuning forks, unique to the very earliest 1966–1967 production runs.

• Case: Includes the original, form-fitting 1960s Japanese Yamaha "Rocket" case with the highly coveted original yellow/orange felt liner. The original case shows vintage wear expected with its age and has one broken hinge, but it still fits the guitar like a glove and protects it perfectly.

Condition & Playability:

• Acoustic Action: Picture provided of mm on 12th fret. The string action is structurally stable and completely playable for first-position folk chords and strumming.
