Yamaha LA-17 Handcrafted guitar. Super rare!!!!!!! LA series - 1984 luxury artist model, based on L series (original LA shape)
https://youtu.be/z0VWH3rXzfc This is a great clip of how the guitar looks and sounds! I imported this from the USA several years back and it is truly a wonderful guitar. Solid spruce top and solid Mahog back and sides. Everything about the guitar oozes quality. The sound is very well balanced across the string and has a lovely warm tone. It was very difficult to get info on the guitar at the time I bought it but I think they originated in 1980s. The spruce now has a rich dark colour. The only fault the guitar had on purchase was a crack on the upper bottom. I have tried to show this in the photo.  It looks like it has been repaired very neat and tidy. You can see the crack on examination but it hasn't moved in all the years I ve had it and doesn't affect playability, sound or even the gorgeous look of the guitar. The photo makes it look worse than it is especially with the flash. Please don't let this put you off! I can post as it comes with a non original stagg hard case but would rather it was collected.  Cash on collection is a better option as would give you a chance to see and hear this wonderful instrument.  Please be assured that I have sold many guitars on ebay over the years with lots of happy buyers. Only one idiot negative comment in over 10 years of selling!  Bid with confidence.  Reasonable offers considered. Best of luck.
