Time Sale! YAMAHA L-10 (1981) - All Solid Dreadnought guitar - Japanese Vintage - MIJ

There is a YouTube video for checking the sound.

【About this guitar】

The vintage model L-10 is one of the most highly regarded vintage Yamaha guitars.

They were made in the 1970s - 1980s in Japan.

This L-10 is an all-solid guitar.

The "L" represents luxury models.

L-10 can be divided into the early period and the late period.

This guitar is a model from the late period.

At that time, L-10 was sold for 1.2 times the monthly salary of a college graduate.

However, it is much more difficult today than it was then to purchase a new guitar made from the same excellent materials as these vintage guitars.

There is a video comparing the playing of YAMAHA L-10 and Martin d-28.

(This is by another Youtuber. It's not me and it's not my guitar).

Kindly do an Internet search for the following URL.

The playing comparison starts at around the 2:46 minute mark.

The video shows that the L-10 and D-28 are on the same level.

Furthermore, you can notice that the L-10 has more sparkle and better sustain.

Sellers in the US usually sell L-10 in very good condition for around $1,800.

My L-10 is sent directly from Japan, so it is offered at a much lower price.
