Interesting hybrid headtsock of Yamaki insignia horizontal with Daion antler insignia underneath-must be VERY RAE, I have never seen another like it. Solid cedar top, rosewood back and sides are laminate. Has a V neck which is also something I have NEVER seen on a Yamaki. Sounds very much like a Gibson more than a Martin. Only Yamaki I have ever owned with this type of sound. D45 type of Abalone on top. A real Yamaki collectors item, you'll never see another one like this one, Yamaki Ping like tuners
Sound
:
8
Impressive harmonics, again the sound is very very starnge for a Yamaki, you can feel the vibrations when holding the guitar standing up, sounds great but the neck is the most impressive. If I could have a neck like this on any guitar I would say on EVERY guitar I want.

Unbelievable neck shape and feel, nice just right amount of jewelry abalone, not over dressed
Reliability/Durability
:

LAminate back and sides will last forever and the top has been sanded and refinished so the two cleat repaired cracks are not visible. Cracks are very stable and haven't budged or opened in years. Am selling 19/12/04
