I love playing it but don’t know a lot about it. It is missing the truss rod cover but has a case (not sure if case is original or not).

I have serial numbers from 1972 to 1974. What is the serial number on this one? The last picture is too dark to see.

That looks right to me. 12/27/1974. The 70's Nippon Gakki models aren't very common outside Japan.

Believe it or not, I already have this guitar in my list! Someone posted about it here 1/20/2018!! yamahavintagefg.boards.net/thread/49/yamaha-serial-numbers-interior-markings?page=3&scrollTo=345
