New Yamaha guitars

Unread post by Sciaracastro » Tue Nov 02, 2004 4:44 pm

I passed an afternoon in a guitar shop and I played almost all of the guitars there were in there (some Martin and Taylor too) and I was very impressed by how good are new Yamaha guitars...There's one I particulary like.. a LL26...it costs about 2.200 euros and it's much much much better than all Martin, Taylor and Takamine around this price...
Has any1 heard anything about it??

Yeah, I knew this too.
But this new serie is very very good...Yamaha never made a serie of 3.000 euros be4, cuz its guitars sucked...but these 2 (LL26 and LL36) do compete w/ many of the best guitars around...btw best Martins and Taylors are THE BEST...but they cost even 10.000 euros...

Believe me: VERY GOOD GUITARS!

Yamaha is like Epiphone, they used to be top notch quality, but have lowered their quality over the years to compete with the markets

Yeah, but LL36 is not much cheap...it's about 3000 euro and believe me, it's a very good deal!

I owned a Yamaha for about a month, i thought that it was a great guitar, i just didn't like the shape or body style.

My first guitar was a $300 Yamaha and it sounded great for the money. I think their entry level guitars sound decent but I would never spend much more than $300 for any yamaha.

Well, Epiphone's quality has gone up the past years, and then they have the Elite line which is high quality now. Yamaha might be doing the same mood. I still would love to try Dave's old Yamaha.
