Yamaha Specialist

Nihei: My first encounter with Yamaha guitars was when I saw John Frusciante holding an SG2000 Deep Purple on the cover of Guitar Magazine.
From there, I got to try out many Yamaha guitars, including the SG, and it was Yamaha's original models that first made me realize the charm of Japanese vintage guitars.
Drawing on my extensive experience with Yamaha instruments and my experience writing columns about SG series, I will help you choose the perfect instrument while conveying the appeal of Yamaha!

Mochizuki: When I think of Japanese craftsmanship, the first things that come to mind are highly reliable quality, attention to detail, and a design philosophy that prioritizes the user.
I feel that Yamaha is a symbol of this, and I experience this every day while playing their guitars.
Vintage Yamaha guitars from yesteryear possess a unique sound that remains powerful even after the passage of time, while models produced in recent years offer modern playability and refined ease of use.
No matter which one I touch, I can't help but fall in love with Yamaha all over again and think, "Yamaha is amazing after all."

Mizumoto: Yamaha wind instruments have a certain "sense of security" that other brands lack. I've seen over 5,000 instruments so far, and the consistency in precision across all years is remarkably low, making you think, "Yamaha really is reliable." I often hear from people of the Showa generation that they tend to choose foreign brands because of their memories of the old Yamaha instruments they had in their club rooms. However, since around 2000, the reputation of Yamaha has risen significantly, and now more and more people are specifically requesting Yamaha. Older models are also being re-evaluated, and the buyback prices are on the rise. If you're thinking, "Maybe it's time to sell?", please feel free to contact us. We will take a close look at it.
