Yamaha information
moga, I just want to thank you also for all the great information on the Yamaha guitars. Until I looked at all of this, I would have never known how many beautiful guitars that Yamaha has produced. I have just acquired a FG300 which I just love. Thanks again.

first post here in, well, years. I`m sure youse have all missed me...
but if you can come up with a Yamaha Dynamic catalog, I`d love to see it. So far I`ve only been able to come up with one web site dedicated to them which I`ll link up at the end of this post. There is a small but growing fanatical following of the Dynamics in Japan, and it`s understandable to me...they are exceptional little guitars, and evidently almost completely unknown outside Japan, and hardly popular here but as I say, gettin there. In the link you`ll see they came in several models and the labels went through quite a few changes over the years too. From what my wife has translated for me from my Japan Vintage series of books, the Dynamics went out of production once the FGs came on line...with perhaps some overlap, but briefly if at all it seems. Some Dynamics were made for export and a few overseas players have been in touch with me concerning some they have or are interested in, and we exchange what little info is available on them. I recently read that the Dynamics were in fact not made by Yamaha but rather made for them by Suzuki and/or Tenryu. My ealiest has a 3 digit serial number and as far as I can tell goes back to the early 1950s...I have 29 Dynamics now, some doubles of certain models and three #40s...they sound great, and are still available for very little money in Japan for the most part...I`d wager I`ve paid less than $1000.oo for all 29 of mine...if you can find an all solid wood wood guitar made 40 or 50 years ago from old growth timber with as much mojo as the Dynamics have, then let me know, I`d be interested in them. I also have a few old Sadao Yairi nylon strings dating from 1961 to 1971...some of those are fabulous guitars too but generally cost more than the Dynamics with more bidders after them but still bargains all things considered. Paid $100.oo for an all solid wood Sada...rosewood/spruce ... think `cause the case smelled musty but I put it outdoors on the balcony for several sunny days running and that solved that problem last summer...but, this is a Yamaha thread so...if you have access to a Dynamic catalog, please post a link or pics...thanks... http://www.geocities.jp/mmasmcb/catalog.html |

A little newer, these pictures are from an old sales brochure circa 198?.

two of the three Japan Vinatge series of acoustic books had extensive articles with many pictures of the Dynamics, but even the Japanese authors who wrote the books include e-mail addresses because info is not easy to come by and they ask readers to update what they`ve written and some readers sent photos of theirs which I think led to the second article. The necks on my Dynamics are very fat and vary slightly in feel...pre CNC is the reason I guess...none have neck issues. I couldn`t be happier with mine, since getting my first I hardly touch my steel strings any more, just love the sound of the Dynamics...but my old Sada Yairis are right up there too, I`m really having fun with the nylon strings, I don`t use picks and like the extra space between the strings and the fat necks on the Dynamics. Guess it`s obvious otherwise I`d have stopped at one. But there have been a couple of members at that Dynamic site who have posted pics of them trying different ways to straighten the necks of some of their Dynamics, but only a couple, evidently the vast majority are happy with theirs too. I wonder if guys who put steels on them have more problems than guys who don`t at that site.
I`d still like to see a Dynamics catalog...but somehow if the authors of the books haven`t been able to track one down, they probably just aren`t around but ya never know, there may be one buried under piles of junk somewhere. Ya I`m a member of the HC too. Hadn`t posted here for some time but thought I`d come back, kinda like the terminator. heres a link to one of the Japanese members playing some Dynamics... http://www.geocities.jp/mmasmcb/kyoku/original.html |

I know this thread is over 5 years old, but did anyone save any of the catalogs? All the links are dead.
