Surprisingly Yamaha have existed ever since The late 1880s, of course they were not really in to guitars then, however to be honest who had been during the later 19th century? The initial Yamaha acoustic guitar appeared during WWII. The firm subsequently waited a further twenty-three years to '65 when they begun output of the solid body Yamaha guitar. A year after in '66, the company did start to produce the electric bass guitar. All through the 1970s, Yamaha began to grab the interest of several significant recording artists including Carlos Santana and Bob Marley credited primarily to their wonderful quality and design. The Yamaha guitars were actually designed to make a powerful warm tone with an amazing sustain. The "Broad Bass" was introduced in 1977 and quickly caught the attention of famous bass players including a certain Paul McCartney.
I also once saw a picture of Lennon enjoying a Yamaha, but even so I didn't regard them to be the guitar maker 1st to come to mind. To many of folks they were still acknowledged more for key boards, electronic pianos as well as synths (and bikes). Even today, though, Yamaha have gone on to create super guitars which in turn are more than competitively priced.
