Yamaha LJ36 - SOLD

[para_adams]

SOLD

I'm offering my Yamaha LJ36. It is in excellent condition with great set up. Even the original case is excellent. The tone is true to the videos of others I've seen online...clear, balanced, full. What I think of when I think finger style. The only note to condition is very faint scratching in an area about the size of a dime on the side upper bout, bass side.

Rosewood back & sides
Engelman top ("A.R.E.")
mahogany neck
Abalone rosette and trim
Maple binding around the body, fretboard and headstock
1.75" nut
bone nut & saddle
no pickup

I've purchased a high-end guitar made by a local luthier so this one is being offered.

SOLD. I'm local to Seattle.

These are outstanding guitars. The sale won't (shouldn't) last long. Nice photos, btw.

GLWS!

No, it's made Japan in Yamaha's high-end workshop in Japan alongside their very top LJ56 series guitars. As I understand it, there are about one dozen luthiers who work alongside Hiroshi Sakurai, Yamaha's Master Luthier in that high-end workshop and all the guitars are made by hand. This is their second highest level guitar they make. The 26 series and below are made in China. The only difference between this LJ36 and the LJ56 is that Hiroshi Sakurai himself builds the 56's while his team in his shop build the 36's. Sakurai signs the 36's along with the 56's.

The -26's are also made in Japan.

This -36 is a steal. I can guarantee you cannot find more tone or craftmanship for twice the coin on the AGF right now. I have a -56 and can attest. Someone grab this and be overwhelmed!
