Yamaha Guitars
Yamaha guitars have been around for over 60 years and the company itself is more than 100 years old. Yamaha started out making organs, pianos, harmonicas, even furniture and early phonographs before they got round to making their first acoustic guitar in 1942. It was only in 1965, a year after the Beatles broke in the USA on the Ed Sullivan Show, that Yamaha began to make solid body electric guitars with electric bass models appearing a year later.
By 1970 Yamaha was being noticed by major exponents of guitars as the lead instrument of a generation such as Carlos Santana and Bob Marley. That same year they introduced the dovetail neck joint to their guitars which provides the best neck to body contact and helps to resonate vibrations from the neck to the body, producing the balanced tone and response that Yamaha electric guitars are famous for.
Blending different kinds of wood is also extremely important to produce a great sound where the guitar player has complete control of the note texture. Another important factor in the construction in Yamaha guitars is the types of lacquer they use so the guitars can look great and have a chance to breathe.
Yamaha have achieved an excellent reputation in the electro-acoustic field as well as in bass guitars. The Yamaha RBX170 for example is amazing value for money yet the quality is everything you would expect from a Yamaha bass. The solid agathis body, sleek, wide-cutaway contours allow easy access right to the top of the full-scale neck which carries a genuine rosewood fingerboard.
Yamaha is the guitar of choice for many famous artists, and probably the most popular instrument for session men in the recording studio. John Denver, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Brian May, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana, Bob Seger, Billy Sheehan, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen and James Taylor have all gigged with Yamaha at some time in their careers.

Memory Almost Full – CD/DVD Deluxe Edition
$7.97
“Many years from now” must have seemed like an understatement to 16-year-old Paul McCartney, wondering if he’d still be needed or fed at the age of 64. As it turned out, all doubt as to the latter had ceased by his 22nd birthday (though few could have predicted he’d end up washing down those meals with the liquid pride of Seattle). As to the former? Now that McCartney, as of the date of this album…
