Is this a Yamaha G-70D MIJ? If not... then what?

Quick question gents - looking to pick this up... the owner knows very little about it. It needs the tuners replaced and some TLC.

The label appears to say "G-70D" which I suspect may be a Yamaha G-70D Early 1970’s MIJ... however it's hard to say given the poor shape of the label and the photos.

A quick search shows no C-70D model by Yamaha.

Does anyone have any experience identifying this type of Yamaha classical guitar?

Photos are too small to really tell much. Can you post or link to larger and higher resolution versions?

If it is a G-70D, those were made from 1967 to 1974, spruce top with maple back/sides, all laminate. Scale length is 658mm. This is all based on the Yamaha info found here: https://yamahavintagefg.com/yamaha-a...uitar-archive/

Given the all laminate construction and what I know about similar models, this is an entry level student guitar and not particularly valuable.

Thanks for the reply! Apologies for the pic size. Been ages since I actually posted in a forum as opposed to Facebook and forgot that forums handle images differently. I'll see if I can link bigger images.
