The " made for music lovers " on the label is the same thing my old S. Yairis have and I`ve seen it on others too, seems to have been a popular addition to labels at one time...my Yairis date from the early`60s to 1971 so at least that period of time. I had heard stuff about what the label says but I was interested in the name so I could search it but there isn`t much to go on and so far I`ve come up empty. I figured it was probably used the same way we use junior but ...what did matter was that the label shared some characteristics of the other one I have with junior`s name...except my wife says the name appears to be hand written on this one, it looks like a stamp on the other 21 yen guitars which has become one of my top 3 favs, I can`t believe I paid so little for it...the original bid was 11 yen and the seller had it listed in 10 yen increments so if I remember I went all the way up to 1000 yen but ended up getting it for 21...thats only happened the one time however I did get a Koga classical the same week for 100 yen...Kogas show up regularly so it`s not rare or anything and it is a laminate but sounds pretty darn good though not my best. Seller says he shipped the guitar Friday so maybe I`ll get it Sunday or Monday, will take pics.Statistics: Posted by sneakypete — Fri Sep 24, 2010 6:00 pm
