T_Epps Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 On Sunday I went into the local GC to buy a Yamaha LS16. I had played them, done research, and basically knew this was the exact guitar that I wanted! You might be asking why Guitar Center, well it is the only place close by that has the Yamahas in stock. Long story short, they had a setup at the front of the store with numerous acoustics including a J-15. The walnut back and sides were so beautiful that it immediately caught my eye and I knew that I had to see how it sounded. WOW! Such great midrange that sounded good strummed or played fingerstyle. Luckily the wife was already with me and gave me the approval since they had it marked down $250 from the normal street price. Absolutely love this guitar!

Fullmental Alpinist Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Very nicely done! Beautiful guitar and a nice abalone rosette. I'd say "Welcome to the Forum!" except you posted pictures so it leads me to believe you've probably been lurking around here for a while and knew what we liked. Welcome to the Forum anyway! Enjoy your Gibby. FMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
