The Golden Era of Japanese Folk: 1975–1978
The Orange Label FG series represents the refined peak of Yamaha’s “Domestic Folk” era.
Building on the Red and Green Label legacy, these guitars were improved for greater volume, durability, and everyday playability, becoming a trusted standard for a generation of musicians.
Known for their bright, punchy attack and impressive projection, Orange Label FGs respond quickly and cut through a mix with ease.After more than 50 years, the wood has developed a naturally aged, woody resonance that modern instruments simply can’t replicate.

• Want something more personal than a brand-new guitar
