Taiwan White label (1977 to 19??)
New models starting in 1977 (Oval label):
• The export (from Taiwan) models have a White oval label.
• The Japan only (Nippon Gakki) models have an Orange oval label.
• The Taiwan serial numbers are 8 digits on the brace under the fretboard and a 7 digit number on neck block. About 5/10/1979 they stopped using the lower 7 digit serial number, only having the upper 8 digit number, like the Japan models.
• The earliest I have are 70130074 (1/30/1977) & 1003893.
• This serial number system continued until 2001.
• All models have the headstock logo “YAMAHA”.
