Nice old Yamaha Red Label dread built in Japan. Because it was built in Japan, it has to be older than 1971. Because of bad records, can't tell the year exactly. It has lots of character as well as some battle marks on the back and a cigarette burn on the top. But, the best of all is the loudness and tone of this old baby. it is a real banjo killer. Come play this thing and you will buy it, it will make you throw rocks at much higher priced martins. Any interest or questions, text 615-486-nine007 and i will get back o you, Can meet at exit 258 off I-40. Carthage/Gordonsville exit. Thanks. Terry
