Default How many Yamaha models have adjustable bridges?

How many Yamaha models have adjustable bridges? There are the two most well known models - the FG300 and the FG350W. But I think there are some other models, though I'm not sure. I'm thinking of the FG400W and the FG401W.
And another question, is there another Yamaha model that has the exact same construction as the FG300 minus the adjustable bridge? I don't mean simply the same woods but the same type of sleek construction?

No current Yamaha acoustics have adjustable bridges, as you're probably aware. Every laminate Yamaha FG of that era, including the 300, will have the same construction. Bear in mind the FG300 is an FG140/180 but with different laminates and added bling.

A few years ago, the CPX models had adjustable bridges.

Can’t even find anything about an adjustable bridge on Yamaha’s website so naturally I am intrigued.
By adjustable do you mean sound and tone or by adjusting height and intonation?

I believe on the FG300 the saddle is adjustable for height and intonation - so the saddle is divided into six for the six strings, and the adjustment is up and down, and forwards and backwards. Whereas, on the FG350W the adjustment is only for height, so up and down. It has two screw on each end of the saddle.

The FG400W and FG401W looks to have the same sort of adjustment as the FG350W.

I've just found a couple more models with adjustable bridges. The L-7S and the FG1200SN. They only have height adjustment, so screws on the side of the saddle.
