The complex story of Yamaki guitars is entwined with the histories of a number of other Japanese companies. In recent years many guitar makers around the world adopted a new term "semi-solid" to describe these plates. They were made so well that they performed as good as solid woods while being far less expensive in guitar production and far more resistant to cracking in regular use.
