what is nippon gakki
Before the most famous red label Nippon Gakki label was introduced Yamaha used for a very short period a âgreenâ label. Until now Iâve only seen such a green label on some FG150â²s, FG300â²s and some FG180â²s. These green labels can be found on the very early FGâs. Yamaha mentiones november 1966 as the starting point of the FG series. These green labels can be found on some 1967 and 1968 FGâs. Despite the green labels the Nippon Gakki red label is considered as the start of the FG series. Iâm not sure about the exact year but around 1971 â 1972 (Yamaha mentiones 1972 as the start of âoverseasâ production) Yamaha changed to a white label for the Japanese market and kept the red label for the export markets.
