All this talk about Yamahas I just had to post. My very first guitar was a Yamaha dread. Must have been around '73 or '74. My mother took me to a local guitar shop in Huntington Beach CA and bought me the guitar. It's gone now (gave it away to local charity) and I have since gone through an assortment of guitars. But every now and then I get a tinge of nostalgia just looking at the Yamaha logo on a dread headstock. I don't even remember the model number or how the guitar even sounded. I just remember it meant the world to me as a young teenager learning to play the songs of the day.
