Description
 


Very very rare Yamaha AE18; this is a top of the range carved archtop jazz guitar from 1974 which comes with its original case. The case itself is a bit tatty (notably the handle which has been repaired) but is all original - it even includes the original yamaha branded key! Made in Japan. Guitar itself is in very good condition and sounds amazing: it has a spruce top and ebony board and is strung with Thomastik Infeld flatwounds. Push-push controls for coil taps and phase (I think!). Minor marks on the lower bouts as per photos. Guitar can be collected from High Wycombe or Staines or I can meet within a reasonable distance by prior arrangement - please contact to arrange before bidding. This is too fragile and too beautiful to risk posting, sorry.
