Taiwan Tan label – “Republic of China – Made in Taiwan” (1974 to 1975) - Called “Green” label in Japan
• Mid 1974 they reversed the location to “Republic of China/Made in Taiwan” which lasted until the models changed in 1975.
• The earliest serial numbers I have are 40521403 (5/21/1974) & 0536866.
• The latest is 50830182 (8/30/1975).
Republic of China – Made in Taiwan Label
• The Yamaha Guitar Archive data says these models ended in 1974 but the last Tan label serial number I’ve found is 50830182 (8/30/1975).
• Initially, the headstock logo was the 3 tuning forks inside of a circle, but at the beginning of November 1973 “YAMAHA” was added, assumed for brand recognition.
