Well, I went back to the nearest shop after work today. I may be buggared — they had a lovely D28 that I didn’t see up on the wall the last time I was there. It was pretty ... wow.
It’s strange — this whole shopping around kick got started because I was thinking an OM or a Grand Auditorium body might suit my style better than a big ol’ dread. But I’m starting to suspect I’m a dread guy after all, that it may take a dreadnought body for me to feel like a guitar “sounds right.” At any rate, that D28 was something. First time I’d ever played one. Wow. Came back and spent some quality time with my Yairi, though, and I guess it says something that even after playing a $3k Martin, I liked what I heard. Sorry for all these long-winded ramblings, y’all. It’s just an interesting (to me) learning process. I’m sure it’s old hat to many of you, but I’m just trying to get my thoughts out to make sense of what I’m discovering about guitars and about myself as a guitar player (not certified, though... ) |

What extraordinarily kind words, Jaden — thank you!
Makes me think maybe there a reason (besides $$$) that I’ve only had the one acoustic all thee years. Though I have recently expanded my electric stable to a staggering 4 guitars, so maybe I shouldn’t pay myself on the back too hard ... |

Those older Yaris are nice guitars and more than worth the price in my opinion. My uncle has a Yari D style from the mid/late eighties that is a joy to play for many of types of music. I would have got one back then but as an undergrad it was that or food for a semester. I haven’t played a new Yari in decades. Wonder if they are still at the same quality.
