Hello, I recently aquired a fg360 and am trying to figure out what the internal markings mean. It's a tan label, made in Japan, Nippon Gakki co ltd. Has the Mk marking under the label. There is a white hand written "8" stop a black "8" and some black numbers 93-1 with a symbol before and after the numbers. Does any of the markings look familiar to anyone?

The date code is 49.3.??, which is when the sides were made. I can't read the last 2 digits. That would be March 1974. The 8 I believe is an inspection mark, as are the other marks.

The serial number is on the brace under the fretboard, just inside the soundhole. 8 digits, starting with 4. That will be the date it was finished. The Nippon Gakki (Japan Instrument) version is the rarer one.

I have make bone nuts & saddles for the vintage FG's. Replacement Nuts & Saddles The saddle radius is 16".

Here are 2 threads of Nippon Gakki FG-360's I've worked on. 1973 Yamaha FG-360 Neck Reset Customer Repair - 1973 Yamaha FG-360(N) And a FG-360 made in Taiwan. 1975 Yamaha FG-360 Neck Reset+
