Members IvoV Posted November 16, 2005 Members Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hi! I was wondering if anyone has experience with this guitar. There seems to be a real lack of information on the internet regarding this guitar. I can buy one second hand in mint condition for about 1500 euro's (1750$). It's from the 80's and built in Japan. Any thoughts, comments. etc. would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards,Ivo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members walfordr Posted November 16, 2005 Members Share Posted November 16, 2005 Never heard of it! Are you sure it's not an AE1200S? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IvoV Posted November 16, 2005 Author Members Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'm pretty sure it's the aes-1200. I wouldn't pay 1750$ for an ae1200s guitar. Martin Taylor apparently used this guitar for quite a while before he got his expensive custom made guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zenbu Posted November 16, 2005 Members Share Posted November 16, 2005 there are plenty of folks paying that much for good Yamahas here in Japan, particularly the old ones. Love my Yamahas and wouldn`t trade em for anything. OK.....might trade em for a Ferrari, but thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeroen Posted November 17, 2005 Members Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hmm... It doesn't seem to be a very well known guitar, doesn't it Ivo. But the few reactions you've had are pretty positive. I wonder how it plays. Perhaps you could take a picture to show over here, I presume you're not planning on buying it straight away..

Al W. wickeral, don't know if you noticed that this thread is from 2005. Anyway, welcome to the board, post some pics of your axe in the Yamaholics thread! http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?t=1772094 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
