I have thw Yamaha FSX5 Red Label and it is qiite good
Great guitars these FG-models – I've had 12 of them. Best was a FG 300 from 1969, which I STUPIDLYYY sold because it was a bit battered … Of course it was! Because it was loved-Played by so many for itś gorgeous sound during 50 years!
very nice collection, and playing
I own a 1968 red label FG-140 , I absolutely love it.. It’s my go to guitar.. My Gibson J45 and my Larrivee seem to always be sitting in their case , I find I’m always gravitating towards the Yamaha ????♂️
Can you tell me what’s involved in buying a guitar and eBay are there import fees from Japan to the United States? Do you have to pay extra fees after you purchase on eBay?
Hi Allen
Would love to know how you record guitars for your albums. Do you record most of them yourself at home? A video with some insight into your recording process would be amazing. What gear, signal chain in general, how many overdubs/tracks do you usually record per song etc.
It'd make me more than happy to get some insight!
All the best, Dave
I have a mid 70's Fender F-65. Under rated by far. Holds a tune forever.
Say, is that a Brasilin rosewood fingerboard on the fg-180? Beautiful playing.
I just bought a Fg180 because of this video
Nice collection you have there, and great playing too. I have a 2004 DW15 (Taiwan Made) and a 2012 LL16 (China Made), and it would be nice to have another made in Japan too.
I recently bought a Yamaha L10 1980 vintage and love the way it plays and the tone. I thought about seeking out the 1970s model, which is generally more expensive as the back and sides are made from Jacaranda and has a rather different tone. Apparently, they only made these for a year or two, 1978/79, I think. Personally, I found the sound a little 'brassy' and preferred the 1980s version which has Indian Rosewood back and sides. The Yamaha L-series are becoming increasingly sought after here in Japan and will probably get more expensive from here.
Is guitar limak n° 362 made in japan good , with 3nylon strings and 3 steel strings in the same guitar?!! It was my dad’s
I have the Yamaha FG-150 & just sold the FG-75 last year. Their all beautiful sounding guitar.
Beautiful sounding instruments. I’m a big fan of Yamaha, low end to high end
Actually, the 180 was the selling price back then ($180.00).
Very nice noodling my friend ????????❤️
I just bought a 1973 Greco F250 its in beautiful condition and plays and sounds beautifully…
I had a very nice Takamine semi acoustic back in the 90's, and everyone loved it, except me.
It was too bright, no character, no warmth, just clinical.
I have an Alvarez Yairi DYMR70SB, slope shouldered dreadnaught, slotted headstock, 12 fret. Indian rosewood back and sides, triple A grade spruce top. Completely hand made. It's the most beautiful sounding guitar I've ever owned, and I've played THEM ALL.

BTW – I have recently discovered the Goodwill auction site – it is a GOLD MINE for these old japanese guitars and sometimes you can get em for an absolute STEAL! I've bought 4 in the last week including a red label 6 and 12 string Nippon Gakki. Didn't even spend $500 total on the lot!
It looks like you use super light strings. What grade do you usually tie up with?
My main stage guitar is a Taiwan made CJ838Sii with a K&K pickup. I think it would be a good comparison video to compare against the mid-range line of Japan made Yamahas.
Got my first Yamaha, an LL16D, for Christmas. Picked up a 1998 Yamaha LS-10T a few weeks ago. Absolutely love both of them. I think I'm officially a Yamaha addict now. Can't wait for the next one to join my collection!
Bought my DY-57s Yari in 1978 and still have it. My oldest possession and proud of it! Cheers
Guitars are nice, but your playing is phenomenal
Hi Allen, thanks for sharing. They sound lovely with some decent bottom end. Yes, I used the same glue there too ???? . I do lots of acoustic guitar repairs including electric guitars. My guru none other than Dan Erlewine of Stewart Mac. And ohhh that lovely Yairi, I would die for ????
I am proud to introduce you to two long-established Japanese guitar manufacturers.Alvarez Yairi is an export name and is called K Yairi in Japan.K is from the founder's name, Kazuo Yairi.Also, please note that it has nothing to do with the Alvarez guitar, which makes similar models made in Korea.The introduced YAMAHA guitar is a very popular model made in Japan.thanks from????????????????♂️
Yairi, Haruo, Morris ????????????????
Love the comment on playing an instrument changes the cells in the aging process.
some do , many did not.. teh LL 36 do , the fg 180s and such do not.. they both sound great
