Members Steadfastly Posted December 30, 2009 Members Share Posted December 30, 2009 In great condition for a used git! Very nice that you mentioned your wife. We should do it more often here on HC as they must live with and/or support our hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members louloomis Posted December 30, 2009 Members Share Posted December 30, 2009 This is actually the exact guitar I've been looking for for a long time. Can you post some audio clips and more information about playability, quality, neck profile, fingerboard radius, etc.? Thanks.LouLoomis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members R. Chapman Posted December 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hey guys... thanks for the compliments on the guitar. I've had my eye on it for quite some time. It's been in a buddy of mine's shop for awhile. Guitars of the Stars/Boobtone amplification is located in Collinsville, Illinois. Steve is a great guy to deal with...www.boobtone.com Anyway, he deals in vintage/used guitars and boobtone amps. The Yamaha has been in his shop for some time and every time I would go in there I would always play it. There is just something about the guitar that I love. Anyway, my wife made it happen after Christmas....bought it today as a matter of fact. Most of the hardware is original. According to Yamaha customer support it's from January 5th, 1980. The neck pup is a gibson, not sure of the type. We believe the bridge pup is original...not 100% sure though. It has some dings, but it's in great shape. It plays fantastic, the guy that owned it before me is a well known Jazz guy in the St. Louis area. The guitar plays like butter... It's by far the best guitar I've owned. I've never owned a Gibson, but I've played many vintage/used Gibsons at Steve's shop and this plays better/just as well as any of those. As far as sound clips...I'll see what I can do...my son is picking up his little Flip HD camera tomorrow (hopefully). I'll see if I can throw something together. I doubt it will really capture how it sounds though. It has a violin-like quality when it's cranked through the boobtone amp (KT66 output tube). Also, if you're looking for old/vintage Gibsons give Steve a call. He has quite a few in his shop right now. Unfortunately, his website only shows his amps...no pics of his guitars. thanks and I'll try and get some sound for you guys... Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
