Any one  have any experience of Yasuma guitars from Japan,I know they  did a copy of a Martin d 25 in the 70s but its difficult to find any other info .I aquired one designated BMJumbo 155  some years ago with a broken head stock which I repaired ,said guitar was just used to decorate a wall in my music room ,however since getting it back to the UK I'm wondering if it has any value.I've contacted the importers BM music but no reply yet.

great  party  guys

Depends on the airline ,some allow it in a soft case as cabin luggage or you can buy a sear for it,Agean do this.I brought  my ovation as hold luggage in a semi hard case no problem ,but as I say it depends on the airline best bet is phone customer service for your airline.

Just  to  add my  view .I  prefer  the  old  view  but  I  understand  the need  for  change .Like  many of  my  generation   I don't  like  change  ,but  change  is  inevitable  so we adapt .

I play a bit of mandolin ,just a few simple chords ,I would suggest you get it set up as low as possible with extra light strings makes a big difference to your fingers.the chords are different to guitar but not bad to master the simple ones

To  echo  what  the  others  say   its  what  you  feel  comfortable  with  I  have many  guitars  some  high  end  some  low  all  have  their  own  characteristics . My  son  once  said  Dad  why  do  you  need  all  these  guitars  , one  day  he  will  understand ,at  the  moment  my  go  to  electric  is  a  yamaha  pacifica  which  I  paid  50 pounds  for in a junk shop  my  go  to  acoustic is  an ovation applause which  I've  had  for  years and gigged all  over .A  high  price  tag  does  not  necessarily make  a  good  instrument .

Great
