early 70's Yamaki Dreadnought AY 303S "Folk Deluxe" Spruce & Rosewood w/ Original Hard Case

Looks like a Martin, plays like a Martin, sounds like a Martin, but it's not a Martin.


The Martin Guitar Company would be inclined to agree with that statement, 'cause they sued Yamaki back in the 70's for making these "Martin killer's", stopping the production. So if you're looking for a guitar that sounds like a vintage Martin for a fraction of the price, look no further. It's a rare one, its a good one, it's a solid top dreadnought from the 70's, and more than likely, it's in your budget.

Some specifications for y'all:

• Acoustic Guitar
• Natural Finish
• Solid Spruce Top with Aging Toner
• Solid Rosewood Back and Sides
• Select Hardwood Neck
• Solid Black Ebony Fretboard
• 20 Frets
• 3 Piece Back
  
• Antique White Binding
• Modified Low Oval Neck Shape w/PA Taper
• Antique White Heelcap
• Solid Black Ebony Bridge

And a little bit about the wear and tear:

• Minor scuffs and scratches
• A small chip of the left side of the nut
• Slight bow in the neck resulting in higher than average action above the second fret
