Welcome to another fine guitar from The Old Europe! Please make sure to read the entire description below carefully, and look at all the pictures.

General introduction and background:

Super nice and rare Yamato-badged SG-style guitar. I am not entirely sure which of the factories made this, but it is similar to Ibanez-models of the same time (early 1970s) and maybe made by Fujigen or Terada.
