Yamaki Performer Les Paul copy ~ Mid to late 70's

Beautiful Yamaki LP copy made in Japan around 1976-1977.   

I am not an expert on these guitars but from what I have read they are held in very high regard.

This Yamaki Les Paul was built around 76-77. There are a couple of hints for that. The first one is that Faraday electronics that were only used from 76-78.

The pickups are a signature from Yamaki. The 3 screw system was almost exclusively used by Yamaki from 77-84.

Beautiful Cherry Sunburst and what seems to be a one piece mahogany neck and body with center seam figured maple top.

This one weighs in at 8lb and 6 oz.

I replaced the keys that were in bad shape with some nice vintage Grovers. 

I also reversed the neck pickup magnet to get an awesome nasal Peter Green tone in the middle position when both volume knobs are on 10. 

This magnet reversal is easily put back to stock by reversing the magnet to the original position.  

When either of the 2 volumes are backed off slightly the middle position sounds stock. 

Gig bag included.
