Yamaha Specialist

Nibei: My first encounter with YAMAHA guitars was seeing John Frusciante holding an SG2000 Deep Purple on the cover of Guitar Magazine.
From there, I played numerous YAMAHA models, starting with the SG, and it was YAMAHA's original models that first made me appreciate the charm of Japanese vintage guitars.
Drawing on my extensive experience with many YAMAHA guitars and my knowledge gained from writing columns about the SG, I support customers in choosing their instruments while conveying the appeal of YAMAHA!

Mochizuki: When I think of Japanese craftsmanship, what comes to mind first is reliable quality, meticulous attention to detail, and a design philosophy centered on the user.
Playing guitars daily, I feel Yamaha truly embodies this spirit.
Vintage Yamaha models from years past possess a unique sound that grows more powerful with age, while recent models offer modern playability and refined ease of use.
Whichever I play, I can't help but fall in love all over again, thinking "Yamaha really is amazing."

Mizumoto: Yamaha wind instruments offer a sense of reassurance you won't find in other brands. Having seen over 5,000 instruments, I'm struck by how consistently precise they are across all eras. That reliability is truly appealing.We often hear from those of the Showa generation that memories of old Yamahas in club rooms lead them to instinctively choose overseas brands. However, around the year 2000, Yamahas saw a significant rise in evaluation, and now more people specifically request them. Older models are also being reevaluated, driving up resale values. If you're thinking, "Maybe it's time to part with mine?", please feel free to consult us. We'll carefully examine it for you.

The History and Appeal of YAMAHA

TCGAKKI・Advanced Guitars・Okubo Gakki

Tracing YAMAHA's Great History | From Founding to Modern Times

YAMAHA, which began with organ repairs in 1887, has developed a wide range of musical instruments based on precision manufacturing.In 1946, it launched the classical guitar, followed by the dynamic guitar and electric guitar in the 1960s, and later the trumpet, formally embarking on its path as a comprehensive musical instrument manufacturer.
The philosophy of "delivering high-quality, easy-to-use instruments" has remained consistent across wind instruments, guitars, and Bass. Today, YAMAHA has established an unshakable position as an indispensable brand, from educational settings to stages worldwide.

 

Why does YAMAHA continue to captivate people?

YAMAHA's strength lies in its proven technical expertise and player-centric design philosophy.
Electric guitars/Bass feature diverse artist models that excel across genres. From a first instrument to a professional's companion, their "player-focused" model development is highly regarded .
Acoustic guitars, centered around the FG series, have long supported Japan's folk music scene. Their rich sound, where the wood truly resonates, remains beloved by many artists today.
