I got given a used Yasuma WG130 around 1986 by a repentant girlfriend as a replacement for my priceless 1960's Epiphone she trashed during a 'disagreement' ( well my playing never was up to much, but she could have just asked me to clear off down to the shed...). Beautifully made and finished, pretty standard looking apart from a tapered headstock - never seen another, anybody else out there got one ? Well the girl has long gone, but the axe lives on. It certainly hasn't been loved these past 25 years or so,it had a heavy action that just didn't invite one to reach for it in a mellow moment, but recently a guitar-minded buddy picked the neglected object in the corner up, blew the dust and cobwebs away with a few nifty chord sequences, and declared the instrument a real beauty. So a bit of research revealed that a dealer in the US used to sell Yasuma guitars with a bit of tape stuck inside recommending only use extra-light strings. Up to then I'd just used any old strings, and put up with the pain inflicted by the heavy action as penance offered up for the doomed Epiphone ( which had an action to die for, and I still miss it, sob !). Duly re-stringed with xtra lights, cleaned, dusted, and de-loused, the 130 was transformed. The action changed to at least bearable. But it was the sound - the SOUND, that finally shone through - ringing highs coupled with subterranean bass notes, and everything in between. It only took 25 years to discover this things mojo, and all thanks to a random web search - all hail!
