See if the one made inTaiwan are as highly regarded. My advice would be to read those reviews and see what those who have them say. The reviews on HC are very favorable though I have no first-hand experience with the FG-75. Some Red Label Yamahas may have more collector's value but are not necessarily better than other models which were made in Taiwan. What I mean is, some Taiwanese made models were great, some not. So where a guitar was made is not as important as where that particular model was made. And the mainland Chinese are producing some real knockouts as well. Fact is, the Taiwanese produced some truly great guitars, my FG-340 among them. ![]() Recently we have seen the same prejudice regarding guitars coming out of China. Just as everyone laughed at Yamaha when they first made guitars - "What?! Japanese making guitars? Get outta here.," so too did everyone scoff at the likelihood that the Taiwanese would ever produce anything worth playing. Yes, the Red Labels have a certain collector's appeal.
