I played mine (Yasuma Custom Model 130) at my local folk club the other night and the original owner was there and wishes he hadn't parted with it! He bought it new in 1973! It has a unique and, in my view, fantastic sound and is one of the Japenese guitars that became known as the "Lawsuit Guitars". It's a pity that the copies were so blatant and I doubt that there is anything to compare in that range from later Japanese manufacturers.
