Here’s a clean and very cool 1970s Yamaki Deluxe Folk No. 15, made in Japan during the golden era of Japanese acoustic production.
This is a classic dreadnought with a tight-grained spruce top and beautifully striped rosewood back and sides. The back shows strong grain definition and a center strip, giving it that unmistakable vintage MIJ look. Headstock logo and label are both intact and legible.
Tone & Feel:
These Yamaki-built guitars are known for being lively, balanced, and responsive. This one has that dry, open vintage character with clear articulation and solid projection — great for flatpicking, strumming, or folk-style playing.
Condition:
Finish checking and cosmetic wear on the back and sides
Various small dings and handling marks throughout
Bridge is secure and properly seated
Top shows typical play wear but no visible structural concerns in the photos
Original-style bridge with mixed black/white pins
Chrome tuners functioning as they should
Overall, it presents well and has that seasoned vintage vibe players look for.
Includes:
Chipboard case (not a hard shell case). The case shows cosmetic wear consistent with age but will provide basic protection for storage and transport.
If you're building out your Japanese acoustic lineup or looking for a vibey 70s MIJ dreadnought with character, this is a solid example.
