The only number or inscription that is shown is on the PU pocket like a stamp: something like “?091” (I’m not sure about the first letter or number).Īnyway, the main goal is to perform a restoration close to the original SA50, and I contacted Yamaha to ask if they would have spare parts or they could make them as custom parts, but they don’t.An item that has been used previously. Vintage 1971 Yamaha Japan Red Label Nippon Gaki FG-75 Acoustic Guitar With Case. The fingerboard has dot inlays, so that was for a period of time the main question wether it was a SA30 or a SA50, but all the other features check out: the kind of binding and bridge tend to show that this is a SA50. The previous owners don’t know who (possibly) did it, but it sure seems like it. ![]() YAMAHA FG 75 RED LABEL EBAY SERIAL NUMBERThe serial number is nowhere to be found because, after carefull examination, I think the fingerboard was changed. Meanwhile, the tremolo bar is missing, the tuners were also changed along the way. Those were the only changes he performed because he didn’t like the sound of the original pickups. He installed a Shadow active PU, with and additional switch near the control knobs (i wonder who does that?! my god…) on the neck and a vintage Hofner PU on the bridge. I’ve been talking to the owner and he knows little about the guitar, he’s been keeping it untouched for the past years, so he’s trying to sell it.Īfter a lot of research, the guitar has been definitely changed by a previous owner.

Sound, finish, reliability, everything seems to be pretty balanced and well built, very reliable. I’ve listened these guitars and I think they are simply amazing. Lately I’ve been very interested in these early Yamaha SA models. This innovative technology allows the player to mix chorus, reverb and acoustic. My name is Ricardo and I’m from Portugal. With the FG-TA, the traditional manufacturer Yamaha offers an inexpensive version of the successful TransAcoustic. The Bantam Bass is essentially a Bassman 10 with one large foam speaker in place of four 10″ drivers. In any event, these odd speakers made their way into an obscure Fender combo amp in 1969, the Bantam Bass. Not sure if this was Yamaha’s own technology or if they licensed it from another firm. We had one of these amps in our band back in the 90’s and it was heavy as a bastard and very dull-sounding. This early iteration of ‘natural sound’ seems to consist of these odd trapezoidal ‘happy-meal’ foam speakers. The only constant seems to be that ‘natural sound’ represents Yamaha’s willingness to try odd new things in a constant technological struggle to achieve more accurate sound-reproduction. Yamaha has used the term ‘natural sound’ for many decades to market a wide range of different audio gimmicks. It has often been noted that Jimmy Page toured with Yamaha acoustics in the early 70’s, which may be why Japanese Made ‘red-label’ Yamaha acoustics are currently in-demand. Dig that dark green finish on the bass though. ![]() The electrics are really very cool, but keep in mind that most examples will need a neck reset and/or plane in order to play like a new guitar.
