The guitar itself sounds great, just like in the reviews. I cleaned it up, and amazingly it looks like it has hardly ever been played, darn near perfect shape, action is low, even the pickguard looks nearly new. The guitar looks like all the other FG 75's i've seen (online photos), and when I got it it was covered in a layer of dust. Also, as far as the serial number inside the sound hole, the number is only 5 digits. My guitar has a tan label, and it says "Nippon Gakki", and it also says "made in Japan". Okay, here is something I haven't been able to find info about. I've also read where some red labels weren't made in Japan, but in Taiwan. I've read about red labels, tan labels, and how production was shifted to Taiwan in 1972 and red labels were changed to tan. I've read where they were manufactured from 1968 thru 1974. I just picked up a vintage FG 75, and i am having a tough time figuring out when it was made.
