Yamaha AE-11
A stunner of a Jazzer from Yamaha. A lot of people say 'No good guitars came out of Japan until 1976', these people clearly haven't seen Yamaha's output in the 60's! Some of the coolest, wildest and best guitars from Japan were coming out of Nippon Gakki as early as the 60's!
This AE is an example of just that; a beautifully constructed dual humbucking Hollow body that shares a lot of it's DNA with the Gibson ES-175 but with a unique Japanese twist! A beautiful and resonant guitar that we saved from landfill! When we brought this guitar over from Japan earlier this year it had been played to death and was in severe need some of TLC! We took on this challenge, treating it to a full refret, new bridge hardware and a good old clean! (More info and pictures of the refret are available on our Instagram page)
