The combination of all tone wood plies and very light bracing gives them the sonic appearance of a solid wood guitar. Also, the 100 series guitars were very lightly braced. Many earlier solid wood Yamaha guitars cracked in shipping. This is because of the uncontrolled climate temperature and humidity on the ships carrying them to America. The inside will be different, even though it looks like solid wood. The back and sides are also 3 plies, with the inner ply being a different wood filler. All the layers of the top are tone wood, not a cheap wood filler. Laminate is a wooden board in the case yamaha red label guitars consisting of 2 or more layers glued and pressed together with the direction of the grain in the same direction. Plywood is a wooden board consisting of 2 or more layers glued and pressed together with the direction of the grain alternating, typically 90 degrees. The top, back and sides are 3 ply plywood. It has a spruce plywood top, rosewood plywood back and sides, split fretboard inlays, a fancy engraved pick guard, and a saddle with individually adjustable saddles for intonation and the whole assembly is adjustable for height action. Probably a copy of classical guitar bracing but it is much heavier to withstand the additional string tension. They have the familiar yamaha red label Nippon Gakki label, the larger Yamaha headstock logo, and the Yamaha truss rod cover with the 3 tuning fork symbol. They changed to the Red label at the start of 1967. These models have light green labels, very similar to the familiar red labels. Beware of inflated prices and misstated descriptions on eBay. All models introduced in 1981 and later have the truss rod adjustment accessible through the sound hole. These are the years where the truss rod adjustment is in the headstock. I am tempted to take it to a luthier to have it reconditioned as it has a high sentimental value if not a monetary value. It would be fairly narrow minded to think that other guitar companies have not yet copied, or technology not improved on those laminate wood processes over the years.
In general the Japanese ones that I've worked on have been nicer and sounded better. Just curious, and I'm thinking about doing this.
