: : : I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE INFORMATION AND HISTORY AS WELL AS PHOTOGRAPS AND LOGO OF THIS WONDERFUL GUITARS IF SOMEONE COULD HELP ME?
K Yasuma was in the furniture business in the 1950s in Nagoya Japan, and made Guitars, Mandolins and Tiples amongst other instruments until about 1974 I believe.
I have a Yasuma 130D which I bought in 1971 which is in mint condition, but needs a service. Doing a web search, must people who have them, would never part with them.. Like all good instruments, they only become better with age.
Guitars are Martin lookalikes, 130 similar to a Martin D28, in style, but different in tone.
