“To those players who have supported me"
I have long wanted to work freely, leaving my own
personal mark on the world of guitar-making. Now,
working solo,
I am able to pursue the sound I am after and it is
a great pleasure to be able to offer you my work.
Keep your eye on Yokoyama Guitars! “

Fourth
Acoustic Festival in Osaka September 29~30 2007 Yokoyama Guitars was at the Fourth Acoustic Festival
in Suita in Osaka (Japan). Many thanks to all those who
came. Luthiers from all over Japan were there to make a
very fruitful event. Yokoyama Guitars displayed Koa, Mahogany
and Camatillo guitars with shell decoration. Visitors were
able to check out the difference in sound according to
wood-type. As at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival, visitors
were impressed by the rich sound and bold grain of the
Camatillo model. Also popular was the very light Mahogany
model.

We were able to show large numbers of people our guitars
at this big event with luthiers from all over the world.
Here we displayed some classically simple models without
showy shell, etc. decoration, highlighting the combinations
of woods.
The 2 step finger board and sound hole with rosette inlay
were popular. [more photos]

This
year, we were at C.A.A.S.
in Nashville, Tennessee. Many top guitarists were able to try our guitars. As
in Japan, the Camatillo model was highly rated, and this
4-day event was truly stimulating for us.

Our thanks to the many people who visited our booth at
this event in the north of Tokyo. This was the first time
we had a display in Tokyo and we were very happy that the
Camatillo and Ziricote models that we have recently started
using were very well-received by visitors. We will continue
to keep our minds open and experiment. We look forward
to your continued support.
