I've got a YAAMAHA guitar with solid Brazilian rosewood back and sides and a very good soundboard. It is a terrific guitar. I have made it into an electric lap0 steel guitar because I don't want to "not use it". I've got a Martin D-28,made in 1964 also with Brazilian rosewood back and sides, so you see, I had to do something else with the YAMAHA.
