I'd give that a go.

 

[Knox in Box]

If I needed an archtop I'd be interested.

I know my vision is terrible, but it doesn't look like gold hardware to me.

 

[Tiltsta]

Pretty guitar. Would certainly give it a try, but I'm not much of a archtop guy.

Those 70's Yamaha and Ibanez guitars tend to be pretty amazing guitars. The Japanese high end guitar lines were clearly focused on taking over the market from the then mediocre Gibson.

Tuners

Tuners

Tuners look like matte chrome to me. Like the Sperzels on my McFeely.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Tuners look like matte chrome to me. Like the Sperzels on my McFeely.

They look like pitted, nasty gold hardware to me.

 

[jaxn slim]

I don't hate it, but I don't really like it.

 

[Kerouac]

gold hardware failboat

Yeah, there is no gold hardware on that thing.

 

[Deep Eddy]

Don't care for the sunburst finish, but otherwise I like it.

 

[PunkKitty]

Yeah. I like it.

 

[Stratguy]

There's another one in better condition, for less money on the same sight. That one would hold some interest for me, but only if I ran across it in a store where I could try it out.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

All Yammies are beautiful.

 

[CBHScott]

Nice.

 

[Modern Saint]

Looks like fun!
