Yeah, they will set you back a few. Also one of the rare BB’s that are a J, there’s only a few J models of the BB. Just fantastic instruments.

It gets a little worse buying from Sweetwater, as Yamaha does not include 9V battery and Sweetwater doesn’t give you one after their 55 point inspection either, if one was ever performed :joy:

That’s a good one.

Speaking of this you otta see that beat up strat that Dan Huff has used for so many albums in his career. Session player that’s made a career out of music, has many Youtube vids. It’s funny you don’t see many working musicians playing their $5000.00 Taylor acoustic, they have some beat up thing like Willie Nelson’s trigger that has a hole in the body.

Yeah! Almost build to order. Their inventory of the model is pretty low world wide. So the price swing pretty wildly. Guitar center wait time is 5-6 months there are a few still on waiting list
