Yamaha Guitar Factory - Japan 

@@every5thman947 kindly share , what difficulties are you facing with the yamaha guitar

I just got the A5R its an amazing guitar these folks do awesome work.

I foolishly overlooked them but soon realized I never ever played a bad one. Even the entry level and now in my opinion, the L , LL series customs beat anything out there. Anything and at a much better price.

Overlooked....not underated. Believe me..they are rated highly.

@@reilly-vc1rm well how many rockstars do you remember using yamaha guitars. Slash: gibson Bb king: gibson John Mayer: prs Jimi Hendrix: fender Eric Clapton: fender Angus young: gibson Kurt cobain: fender SRV: fender Joe satriani: ibanez Any guitarist you know of would be either using fender, Gibson, prs , ibanez, BC rich etc. And as far as you're concerned about my knowledge of guitars . Iam an aspiring luthier I know everything there is about guitar luthierie, and how the major brands like gibson and fender are ridiculously overrated and overpriced . Yamaha guitar quality is unparalleled and their pricing is justified. So yes yamaha is the only god tier guitar brand out there. Japanese product's quality and prices are unmatched. It's just sad they are not world leaders in guitar market.

I know right imagine how much they would cost in the West

I think you'll be very happy. I've had my FGX5 for several months and am loving the tone and craftsmanship. It's on the same level as a Martin D-18.

@@rturney rturney You are correct. The tone is fabulous, long sustain , beautiful sounding and loud. The build quality and materials are terrific. I am drawn in, and I love to play it. Everything sounds good on it. country, pop, jazz, spiritual music. enjoy your FG, thanks for sharing.

@@rturney FGX5, yes That's the one I am trying to get. I am saving for months, but soon will enjoy it.

How do you like it? I think those are really nice guitars.

@@BradleyJohnson13 Bradley My Yamaha FG5 is wonderful. Beautiful wood and build quality. The neck and frets are silky smooth, it's ebony, a really nice slab of Black smoothness. The sound and intonation are great. It sounds like the best Martin I ever heard. and it has long sustain. I recommend this guitar highly.

Yes, I hope they are ok. The word I have received is that they are and working hard with the restrictions from Covid to continue building more instruments

Instrument sales have been through thee roof.

They do work rather quickly; don’t they?

Sorry for the late reply. I believe they are, but it was a couple of years ago so I do t recall exactly. It’s highly likely that they do

what model do you order ?

Yes. They get finished by hand. CNC takes away the bulk of the repetitive work

This is just raw, mostly unedited video clips that I threw together and sped up in some areas where it is a bit slow.

No. Rather confident the machine is a belt sander. So, it levels the finger board (fretboard).

(In the description) Hamamatsu is the city, which is in Shizuoka prefecture, and is also home to Kawai. Yamaha Music Craft is the name for the division of the company that manufactures and sells wood.

Hii this is from India,please give a review about your ac5r dlx yamaha want to buy it from the store.

No. LL36, LL26, A5R, SA2200, FGX5 and their brothers; GC series, FC50, etc........are made in Japan.

@@albertgogo Right, thanks

My LL16 is made in China, as is the FG3. Very high quality, but as this video shows, this Japanese factory is kind of custom shop.

It's wonderful that the Western world made it lawful to send almost their entire industry and manufacture to communist China. Very generous of them to deliberately and knowingly impoverish their own lands in favour of a communist China leg-up. Talk about a major windfall falling into your lap.

Was. In 1987--100-year anniversary--Nippon Gakki became Yamaha Corporation.

That’s really cool. I have friends that own vintage Yamahas and they love them. They have opened up nicely over time. Value? Not sure. Depends on condition. Check Reverb to see what same models in similar conditions have sold for. That will give you an idea of the current market value

@@BradleyJohnson13 all condition is good 98%..just a little for reparing..

Yamaha guitars are 44mm unless you’re talking about a different brand?

lol....I've got large hands and play a Yamaha guitar and it feels fine (actually great). Fender standard is around 42mm. Not sure where you are getting your info? But it is misleading at best and completely incorrect at worst.

@@pb12661 he has a difficult time playing with his sausage fingers

Cheaper than equivalent Martins, Taylors and Gibsons but no way inferior. Which other makes are you referring to?

No true at all

They probably don't sell like 1/2 a million guitars a year either. If they did they'd probably have machines doing some of the work as well. You're going to get a more precise consistent accurate cut with a CNC machine than you will eyeballing it by hand anyway. As you can see a lot of the work is still done by hand.

Yes, although Japan lost the WW 2. They lifted their shirt-sleeves and began to make things properly.
