YAMAHA / 1980 L12-50 Custom
The "L Series" reigns supreme as the pinnacle of Yamaha's acoustic guitar history.
This instrument, created as the pinnacle of custom guitar making, is a masterpiece into which the craftsmen of the custom guitar making department at the time, including Terry Nakamoto, who later founded Terry's Terry and became a living legend in the Japanese guitar making world, poured all of their skills.
The top wood of the Yezo spruce, which has dried over time, perfectly captures the delicate vibrations emitted by the 12 strings.
Furthermore, the deep, sweet bass tones produced by the densely grained back and sides of the palisander, along with the well-defined, full-bodied midrange, firmly support the brilliant harmonic components unique to 12-string guitars, amplifying them into an endlessly clear sound.
The moment you strike it, an incredibly powerful, core sound rises, creating a three-dimensional soundscape that makes it seem as if the space itself is resonating.
And what's most noteworthy is the exquisite neck shape.
It can support immense tension, yet feels surprisingly comfortable in the hand.
Furthermore, if you are a performer who takes to the stage, the presence this instrument brings will be a unique and unparalleled weapon.
The moment it's bathed in light, the intricate, high-quality abalone inlays on the headstock, fretboard, and body binding radiate an elegant, art-like brilliance, captivating both eyes and ears with just a single note.
Don't miss this opportunity to own Yamaha's flagship 12-string model from that era.
