    J.P. is my favorite guitar RUclipsr. I’ve bought four professional Yamaha guitars, very much because of him, and love them almost as much as my Yamaha brass instruments, of which, I have many.

    Thank you for this video. I´m going to buy a yamaha. My budget is limited, max. 1000 Euros. , appr. the same value as the US-Dollar.
    I think it will be a LS oder LL 16. Yamaha can be proud to have such an ambassador as you are. I love your videos. All the best for you.

    I can honestly say that I have more Yamahas than J.P. I can’t play guitar anything like him, but I’d give a thousand dollars and one of my Japanese custom Yamahas to see him play the tuba, trombone, or trumpet like me. 😂

    J.P. is the reason I buy Yamaha guitars. ….He’s also the reason I curse these lazy fingers of mine.

    There"s no reason for
    Yamaha, to become a second class citizen,
    because of the
    Gibson, Taylor Martin
    names contiuosly being taoted as the best. Its a cheap shot at competion
