It’s widely known that the 8 digit serial numbers start with the year as the first number. I’ve written other articles on: the history of the Yamaha FG 1966-1981 & FG-3XX series vintage Yamaha truss rod adjustment procedure vintage Yamaha neck reset procedure replacement nuts & saddles Yamaha FG weights Japanese emperor date codes Republic of China date codes and I’m working on many others.My latest interest is decoding the mystery of the 6 & 7 digit serial numbers. This past May Yamaha deleted their Yamaha Guitar Archive web page, pushing me to start a forum to share the info that I’ve collected, including all the data from the Yamaha Guitar Archive. See the end of the post.I’ve been collecting data on vintage Yamaha FG acoustic guitars for a few years.

WANTED – Data from your vintage Yamaha FG guitars.
