I've seen and worked on a lot of 1970 and newer Japanese acoustics. They are often one of my favourite guitars to work on as a good repair can virtually resurrect a guitar an owner would have deemed unusable.
That said, I've never seen or heard of Yamato. This is a great looking dreadnought with a cedar top and lovely looking rosewood back and sides.
At $250 Canadian this would likely make a great guitar for years to come.
With a good setup, that is.

- Prototype Luthier Crafted Double Neck Acoustic Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com: Given Gavin's love of double necked guitars I would be remiss to not share this prototype acoustic here on Guitarz. I like the general body shape and it looks like it may not be as cumbersome as other double neck acoustics....
