Yamaha Logo?

[thebigyin]

What year did Yamaha change there logo I have 2 Yamaha instruments one is a vintage Nokon Gakki Red label FG-180 Acoustic dated between Nov 70 and April 71 and a Yamaha Bass both with the older Tuning/Pitch Fork Logo just wondering when they changed the logo as I don't know how old the Bass is I have had it a good few years bought second hand and not sure of the make but it's a nice Bass cheers.

Have they not returned to the old pitchfork logo recently? Pretty sure the new BBs have the pitchforks prominently on the headstock.

I've got no idea, the logo I'd have thought (unless from the old pianos or orchestral) would have remained the same 3 tuning forks or Yamaha font, from instruments since the 60's to now

Here's a little page I found on the guitars anyway

Thanks for the info folks was just curious I know the FG-180 Acoustic is quite sort after or so I have been told I looked online about a year or so ago they were fetching upto a grand so been the Red label 'Nickon Gakki' probably worth a bit...as for the Bass I have had it 6 to 7 years and it was bought second hand but not a problem I will maybe look the serial no' up and get a rough idea of it's age I didn't realise the logo had changed back to the original logo, so thanks for the information.
