The D68swn is a fantastic guitar. Very responsive and has a lively sound. The guitar is in good condition with no issues, i love the neck too as it ia very comfortable in the hand. Yamaki made these guitars up until 83-84 so its a mystery who built them after this date. These are no longer made now, so pricing is likely to go up for models in this range. The pickguard is made from Brazillian rosewood, so if exporting then a cites certificate would be needed. Overall a lovely guitar, with a beautiful sound. Made extremely well with incredible specifications.
