Here’s your chance to own a true piece of Yamaha history — a 1972 “Red Label” acoustic, built during the era that put these guitars on the map.

If you know, you know. These early ’70s Red Label Yamahas have developed a loyal following for a reason — they deliver that dry, open, vintage tone that just gets better with age. This one is no exception. It’s got a beautifully seasoned voice: warm lows, clear mids, and a crisp, articulate top end that cuts without ever sounding harsh.

This guitar is in very good condition, especially considering it’s over 50 years old. It’s been well cared for and has the kind of honest playwear that tells a story without taking away from its looks or performance. No nonsense — just a solid, great-sounding vintage instrument.

The neck feels comfortable and broken-in, making it easy to play whether you’re strumming, flatpicking, or working through fingerstyle pieces. It’s the kind of guitar you pick up “just for a minute”… and suddenly an hour’s gone by.

These Red Labels were famously built  with incredible attention to detail, often rivaling much more expensive American guitars of the time — and they’ve only gotten more desirable over the years.

If you’re after a vintage acoustic with real character, history, and tone to match, this 1972 Yamaha Red Label is the real deal.

Here’s a beautifully crafted, player-built one of a kind mountain dulcimer by Ed Day & John Hedrick of the Spokane Dulcimer Guild — a standout instrument with both character and tone.

This is not a factory dulcimer — it’s a thoughtfully made, hand made instrument built by active players, and it shows in all the right ways. The Teardrop body is cleanly executed in what appears to be solid mahogany (or similar tonewood), giving it a warm, balanced voice with excellent note clarity.

Where this dulcimer really shines is in its responsiveness. It’s a fantastic fingerpicker’s instrument — articulate, even, and expressive, with great separation between notes. Whether you’re playing traditional melodies or more modern fingerstyle arrangements, it handles nuance beautifully without getting muddy.

It features a 4-string setup and includes the 6½ fret, opening up full major-scale playing without retuning — a big plus for versatility. The fretwork is clean, the action is comfortable, and it’s an easy instrument to settle into and just play.

Cosmetically, it’s just as appealing. The wood has a rich, warm look, complemented by tasteful carved rosettes and elegant soundholes. It’s in very good condition, showing only light, honest wear.

Also equipped with upgraded sealed tuners for smooth, stable tuning.

If you’re looking for a well-made dulcimer with a personal, handcrafted feel — especially one suited for fingerstyle playing — this is a great opportunity to pick up something a little different from the usual production instruments.

A true player’s instrument with a story behind it.
