{"product_id":"yamaki-yw-30-1981-uni-3115761","title":"Yamaki YW-30 12-String Acoustic Guitar w\/ Hard Case - Made in Japan","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe YW-30 is one of the more desirable vintage 12-strings to come out of Japan during the golden era of acoustic production. Built in Japan in 1981, this model follows the classic square-shouldered dreadnought formula and features attractive rosewood back and sides paired with a spruce top. The abalone-style trim, slotted bridge, and overall fit and finish give it a noticeably more upscale feel than many of the entry-level 12-strings from the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example has recently been cleaned, restrung, and set up here at the shop. As expected from a well-built Japanese 12-string, it produces a full, rich voice with plenty of shimmer and natural chorus. Chords ring beautifully and the guitar has the big, expansive sound players typically look for in a vintage 12-string.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition is very good overall for its age. There are scattered signs of normal use throughout including light scratches, dings, and cosmetic wear, but nothing that detracts from the guitar's appearance or functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe truss rod is currently tightened fully and there is still some remaining neck relief present. That said, the guitar remains quite playable in its current setup. There is still a healthy amount of saddle showing above the bridge, so a future owner could lower the action further by reducing saddle height if desired. We have included current action measurements below so buyers can evaluate the setup for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hard case is included with the sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Model: YW-30 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Year: 1981 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Made in Japan \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 12-String Dreadnought Body \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Spruce Top \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rosewood Back \u0026amp; Sides \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rosewood Fingerboard \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rosewood Bridge \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Multi-Ply Binding \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chrome Tuners \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Includes Hard Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCase: Hard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale Length: 25“\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNut Width: 1.9“\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFret Wear: 6.5\/10\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAction at 12F (6th): .12“\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAction at 12F (1st): .1“\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeight: 4lbs 15oz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall Condition: 8.6\/10\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSound Factor: 11 out of 10\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUSA Seller, check my feedback to see how I value my customers and see my other listings for more rare Japanese Guitars and other unique gear!
