Re: CBS Masterworks acoustic guitar
Posted by Ben Bouwman on Fri, 03/10/06 - 12:28:11.
I also have a CBS Masterworks guitar that my mother bought in about '72 from GB sound in Burlington, ON. It is a very small guitar, but with a great tone. the front is spruce, and i think the back and sides are mahogany, with and oak neck. It is very playable, with a warm folkish tone. it rarely goes out of tune, and has been mistreated by allowing dew to build up on it while around a campfire, but the tone remained the same and no warping occured. Its model is "MWG580" and is also made in Japan. I have been looking for info on this guitar as well, if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated.
: I don't think I will be of much help other than to say I also have a "CBS Masterworks Handcrafted by Kazuo Yairi" which I got in Toronto in about 1969/70 Model #MWG-Y1055. It to is in nice shape and I too would like to know a value and more.
: : I have a CBS Masterworks I picked up in '71. The model is MWG560. It was made in Japan. Says nothing about Yairi. I know that Fender sold out to CBS back in '65 and CBS produced guitars until Fender bought it back in '85. I do not know anything else about this guitar but would like to know more.
Masterworks guitar mwg590
I aquired this Mwg 590 at an auctionsale. This fellow bought this guitar in the late 50's or early 60's from Culhams Music Store in Swifht Current Saskatchewan. This guitar is in excellent condition. My luthier set the action and harmonics and he felt it had a similiar tone to Martin D ?.
cbs masterworks bass guitar
I own a CBS Masterworks bass guitar in mint condition. I purchased it off of a friend in Toronto in 1973. It has the exact same dimensions as a 1970 Fender Jazz bass, except “CBS Masterworks” is engraved on the head (not a decal). I can’t find any info on this guitar anywhere and would appreciate any input you have. I have pictures if interested.
Thanks

Re: CBS Masterworks acoustic guitar
I use my grandpa's CBS MasterWorks acoustic, its a larger guitar but this one has dried out so the body cracked and i've been looking for a replacement
The model number is MWG560 like yours.
Re: CBS Masterworks acoustic guitar
I have a CBS classical guitar model GU2609 and it is a bitch trying to find information on this guitar!! Is there any kind of valuation on these guitars? I'm fairly sure they aren't made anymore and it's a nice enough instrument I guess. Let me know how your search for more information goes! Might have to dig up some older retailers from that period of time who could tell you.
Re: CBS Masterworks acoustic guitar
I have a CBS Masterworks Yairi cypress and rosewood flamenco guitar made for Charlie Byrd to play with his initials in mother of pearl on the neck of the guitar. Just wondered if anyone could know the value? I bought it from Richard Harrison (his arranger) at the Charlie Byrd music house in maryland in the early '70's when he was selling some instruments.
