Subject: RE: How Long have the Japanese made guitars?
The Japanese started buying forests (from anywhere) after WW 11 . It was part of an ethical mind-set they adopted in order to manufacture musical instruments.
They copied the Martin D28 and produced a Yamaha FG 180 etc ,etc
Also note how Yamaha seemed to replace the Steinway as the professional pianists' preference
