NGD: Yamamoto Talus VS12

Post by jps »

I got this yesterday from Tony. 8)

Great sounding, small (000-ish) guitar that melts into you when seated playing it. 12 fret, Paulownia top and Cocobolo b&s, with bits of Cameroonian Ebony, Macassar Ebony, Maple, Flamed Koa, Mahogany, Spruce, and Pau Abalone.

Nice wood grain. How does the door sound when slapped? 8)
