I’ve not seen that guitar in years: I hope that cleared up any confusion that I may have created. The Yamaki acoustic guitar that my Uncle Thomas owns would more be a “Super Deluxe” or anything; it’s a more embellished model than case study answer Yamaki Deluxe in case study solution photo above. The sticker that might be visible inside case study solution soundhole of his guitar is absent, but Uncle Tom’s Yamaki flat top has an abalone inlay up case study answer fingerboard case study solution likes of which might be seen on a Martin D 42, or a Martin D 45. I’ve no idea why Yamaki as an organization seems to use Western Red Cedar as a soundboard on some in their best guitars. I do not have any problem with it. The very fine Yamaki flat top that my Uncle Thomas owns has what are in fact solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides, a great Western Red Cedar top, a rosewood fingerboard, and a lot of Martin style abalone inlays for fret markers up case study solution neck.
