be VERY careful when buying Yamahas. They can turn out to be pure crap (unless you are getting a vintage one).

some of their newer top of the line models are decent, and the vintage ones were great (dave has a good old yamaha jumbo) but their main line guitars today, they are almost pure crap. So be VERY careful when looking for yamahas

I had a Yamaha APX-9C. Nice guitar. Very comfortable to play but it lacked a bit in sound. I sold it about a month ago on ebay.

i played a LL26 some month ago and it sounded sooo good...but it's 2000 €...and a HD-35 is 2600 so i think it's no worth buying a Yamaha LL26...
