Enjoy your new Yammy! 8 years is a long time!

Yes - I have bought, assembled, and sold plenty of electrics though. 😁

Congratulations, and Happy NGD to you!

Good find and Congrats!! Can't find a single one for sale in the U.S. in any major dealer including Reverb. I want to play one bad- they sound killer on videos and I love the specs.

They are rare. I got lucky and ordered it quickly. I could not find one to play anywhere so I just went for it. Glad I did. It is fantastic.

I tuned to Dadgad and have been playing around between conference calls today. I don’t really know any Dadgad tunes but it sounds really really good.

I ordered one 4 months ago. Still waiting...
