Amazing! Brazilian back and sides?

I hope 30 years from now my son is expressing the same level of interest in my 56 ;-0

He’s 8 right now, so for some reason he’s not beating my door down yet to play it. Lego guitars are more his thing ;)


Yep

Took em within the last few months or so

All in time

I didn’t start playing consistently till I was 28-29 or so

Looks lovely thanks for sharing!
Can’t hear any sound on the video though.

Wow! What a sweet LL! Is that a set list taped to it?

Dru Edwards 01-16-2021 08:20 AM

Great history and beautiful Yamaha!

What material is used to cover what I assume is an old barn door? Cardboard or paper?

OneThing 01-16-2021 08:37 AM

That is just lovely!

Yes! It’s from when my dad last played it regularly

He ended up with a tippin crescendo really liked it and got one made to his specs which eventually resulted in him not playing this one too much

I consider that set list priceless and I’m leaving it there as long as it lasts

Not sure, no barn door. What picture are you referring to?

Yes it’s a set list, my dad played this guitar a ton then eventually got a tippin crescendo then another one built to his specs and those two eventually retired the Yamaha. He plays those two crescendos and a martin 000-28EC these days

lol, a setlist. I initially thought it was a barn door hole in the guitar, at an odd place.

That aside, beautiful, well aged guitar with what must be an amazing tone.
