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

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

Great history and beautiful Yamaha!

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

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?

Ohhhh I see what you meant! Yeah the guitar is so reflective, those pics of the back were the least reflective I was able to take

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.
