Yamamoto Resonator Guitar 070     #003     4/21/2008    SOLD
Inspired by National El Trovador.   Gibson L00 body with bolt-on neck joint.  All Mahogany, top, back and side.
I believe bolt-on neck mechanism is essential in order to maintain proper action, saddle break angle.

This is a video that Tony Yamamoto took of me playing his guitar. It happens it's the beginning of Little Martha and Video2 is the end of it. Thanks Tony, for the video and for letting me play that cool guitar.  David Hilyard
