Great pickup. My own FG 340 II was made in 1984. It has the date stamped right on the label. Get a mirror and look around for a date inside that guitar. The label should also have the country of origin in very small print, bottom center. Mine was made in Taiwan even though my tuners say "Yamaha Japan".

I do not know what woods the 312 is made of, but my 340 is all laminates- spruce top and beautiful 3-piece bookmatched Indian Rosewood back and sides. Ebony bridge and fretboard. Laminates or not, the guitar sounds terrific and is LOUD. I mean, LOUD. And the bass is depp without being flabby or boomy.
