I'd go with the guitar, you know to avoid the arfcom curse, etc.  I didn't know of her and google didn't provide much info.  Her age is somehow still a secret to the web, at least by my efforts.  She has done gigs with Smashing Pumpkins.  How did you cross paths with the song video?  All this recent talk of Yamaha guitars has started some GAS for me, I was over it, but now this, thanks!

I found this video by looking at the Yamaha A5R on Sweetwater. The video is on that guitar page. That song affected me for some reason so I decided to learn it by watching her and her fingers. It is a simple song, but still working on the note picking, but just playing the chords with emphasis on the right strings at the right time, it songs good with the song, but not an exact copy of what she is doing.

I think I am going to go play that guitar but will have to drive 2 hours to get to one in stock. I have been listening to that guitar on youtube demos and it sounds great when mic'd, I don't particularly like pizeo pickup sounds though. I would prefer a guitar with no pickup, but that is really limiting. This is a sitka spruce gloss top with dark Indian Rosewood sides and back with Tusq nut and saddle and quality electronics and seems to be a great price for what you get made in japan. I didn't used to think the cutaway was for me, but after having a cutaway CE size, I think I do want a Dread with a cutaway.

In the other thread, I mentioned my next one would be probably be an A5; their highest tier with a cutaway.
I'd consider a LL36 if they had a cutaway variant.

There are things I like to do up to the 17th fret...I grew up on a Takimane cutaway dred.

She has a witch vibe to her and Dm cords are evil…

Coincidence?

In my defense I was left unsupervised.

Huh...I didn't get that feel at all.

Why are Dm cords evil, she makes up for it with the God cord on the 8th fret though right?

I want a solid rosewood dread, not made in China, but don't want to pay $3k+ for it.

This looks like it fits the bill. I would prefer if it had no electronics, but maybe that would come in handy some day, but I doubt it. It think the under saddle pickup robs vibration to the top, but that is just an engineering opinion not an observation.

Not much of a guitar guy I guess. I like the way my seagull sounds.

We’ve been binge watching Outlander. Now I’m wondering what tuning she is using.
