Just got this in from Japan after waiting about two weeks since I ordered it and it’s amazing.

I’ve always wanted one but the ones in stores near me were all wall hangers with really tan coloured fretboards (I love me a dark rosewood!) and I didn’t want to order one sight unseen.
So I went on digimart.net and found this beauty. Since they can directly sell them to people in North America, I had to use a proxy service called Zenmarket to buy it. The best part is, I saved $700, even after taxes and shipping, from buying a new one from here in Canada. It sounds awesome and looks amazing too!

I got this off Marketplace for a decent price because of a cracked headstock. Everything I could find out about it says it has a solid spruce top, but it doesn’t look like my Yamaha FG800M’s solid top. I can clearly see the grain lines going all the way down the sound hole edges of the FG800’s top, but this top looks like it could be laminated to me. So is it actually a solid top?

A popular ice cream company in Ontario just opened a nee location in Ottawa, but you can’t fool me!
