Default N used GD melvina
this one took a while for me to acquire, almost a year but i got it.
Yamaha G-130A "MELVINA"
Nippon Gakki Co Ltd
Made in Japan
Solid Cedar Top 7 brace fan trad- EF ham penciled on top?
Braz Rosewood back and sides
Ebony fretboard
beautiful binding
Rosette with matching hand made swath by its first owner almost 60 years ago
Melvina engraved bridge
all original including case ( quite worn and the case will NOT be used anymore for it)
the cedar has an extremely warm sound and has aged beautifully...the warmest of all my nylon gits.
the finish (imo) truly looks its age but in a wonderful way. sealed interior back and sides, its flaws tell a story of its journey from then to now

I have followed and dreamed about this one for almost a year and finally got it..an early birthday gift that the wife put her blessing to buy on

Beautiful. That’s worth getting a year older.
