Yamaha's first solid body!

This is an early one of these from 1966.

It's rough and ready, much of the pearl finish has worn off.

One little repaired split near the neck heel, and the trem has been stop tailed, replacement knobs. The frets are low but still functioning aok.

Damn, this is a sweet guit. straddling the line between a Jag and a Jazzmaster...even down to having a matching headstock.

Also has the original hardcase too, with the original pamphlet that came with the guitar at the time.

Made in Japan, dig.
