You've probably never seen or heard of a Yamaki brand acoustic guitar. Don't worry - it's my job to tell you about such things.

Yamaki brand acoustic guitars aren't being made anymore, and they haven't been produced for many years - but you can sometimes find them floating around second hand shops, pawn shops, flea markets, or for sale online. I've only ever seen exactly two of them, and I want to own both of them. I'm serious.

These are very nice guitars. I think of them as being better guitars than probably even Yamaha's L series of solid wood construction acoustic guitars. Truly though, I'd need to test play comparable models - but even then factor in the fact that most Yamaki guitars would be much older, and therefore sound better than a Yamaha competitor.

Yamaki brand acoustic steel string flat top guitars were not built to compete with Yamaha though, they were built to compete with C.F. Martin & Co. the best and most famous builder of such guitars anywhere.

They do a damn fine job of competing too, I should say!.

One strange thing that I've noticed about Yamaki brand acoustic guitars is that they often feature a Western Red Cedar soundboard rather than Spruce as the tonewood for the soundboard. This is interesting, and also; I should say that it works rather well. Cedar is supposed to sometimes produce notes that get distorted when played under a heavy attack, or with a heavy pick (playing loudly). I didn't have that problem, in fact, I couldn't have been any more pleased with the Yamaki acoustic guitar that I played with a Western Red Cedar soundboard.

If you find yourself a Yamaki acoustic guitar for sale - then it's semi rare, and probably either a keeper, or one well worth investing in the repair of. Best of luck to you.

The High Value Of Japanese Acoustic Guitars 50 weeks 5 days ago

Whether you are talking about Takamine, Alvarez, or Yamaha - Japanese acoustic guitars generally provide more value for the money spent. I'm not saying that Japanese guitars are better guitars than are high end American made guitars - no, not at all. What I'm saying is that to get a really good guitar, a professional grade instrument even, you can get a Japanese made one for less money than you can an American made one.

Of course there will always be exceptions - but by and large, my statement is true.

The Martin D 15 Acoustic Guitar. 1 year 3 weeks ago

I write a lot and think even more about guitars, guitar music, and how I wish that I could commit myself to playing the guitar. I'm probably not too different from a lot of other folks in these ways.

The Taylor Guitar Company, and Taylor Brand Guitars. 1 year 3 weeks ago

If you're paying attention to me, and you shouldn't - then you can clearly see that I'm a guitar snob. I'm big on acoustic guitars that cost over a thousand bucks, for the most part; and the more the better.

You shouldn't think that I own a lot of expensive acoustic guitars. I own exactly one expensive acoustic guitar - but I've owned several in my time, and I'd like to own a whole lot more of them before my life is over - even if it's just in passing.
