Description

This second hand acoustic guitar is in great condition for it's age,

Circa 1972-74 - Taiwan Black Label  

The Yamaha FG‑295S is a delightful vintage instrument with charming tone and build solidity. It rewards a little TLC with rewarding playability and warm resonance. If you're comfortable doing (or paying for) a professional setup, this rare model offers real vintage allure at a good price.

Overview & Build Quality

  • Era & Design: Made in Taiwan (circa 1972–74), this jumbo dreadnought features a laminated spruce top and mahogany back/sides, with a striking sunburst finish and detailed hummingbird pickguard 

  • Vintage Construction: It uses rugged 3‑ply plywood reinforced with lighter X‑bracing – a hallmark of vintage Yamahas – delivering a tone reminiscent of solid wood while being more robust 

  • Craftsmanship: Overall build quality was strong on these models

  • Taiwan Black Label Solid, reliable build with vintage pedigree

  Value & Rarity

  • Hard to Find: These models are increasingly rare,

If you're after a vintage acoustic with a classic tone, strong midrange clarity, and unique character, the FG-295S is a gem—especially if the neck is straight and it’s been set up well. For fingerstyle and melodic playing, it shines; strummers may find it a bit subdued versus modern dreadnoughts. The cherry sunburst and hummingbird style add visual flair to the tonal appeal.
