Yes I have - I happen to own one its a fender copy - which did not get a second look in its days however as faith has it people starting to realize that its probably an excellent guitar.
mine can be described as follows:
the body is made out of one single piece of wood (its been suggested its a mahogany and the neck is made out of Maple
in 80's no one cared so much about the age of the wood and the wood quality unless you were some kind of guitar enthusiast who research it all.
but now days when the best manufacturers have their bases in China and use practically green wood in several pieces in one instrument people do take notice of these little thing called quality.
I have friends that spend several thousand of dollars to custom make their Guitars.
well if you have a Anson you probably saved yourself $100s if not $1000s.
The acoustic guitar became more popular in early 20th century America, and and guitar-makers began building louder guitars. All of the above -Apex
There are alot of variables on Yairi Guitars. For example the Model number and the clase number and where it was made and by whom, S Yairi or K Yairi or wether it was made in the USA or in Japan. Early Yairi Classical guitars are the Stativarious of the Nippon Gakki Luthiers and todays values are priceless and should be heard not sold. I hoped I helped you out in some way
Fender started using serial numbers in the early 1950s. Pre-serial guitars are extremely rare. Later model guitars that have no serial may have had the neck replaced.
Clarence Leonidas "Leo" Fender founded the company in 1946, and developed some of the Fender's early guitars.
Under $300, (thats what they sold for new in the early '80's) the problem is the "made in japan" stigma I entirely disagree - 'Made in Japan' is a sign that vintage guitars were made by the best Luthiers in the world at the time. I just saw a PR-650 at $700 - an Epiphone Texan of 60's-70's goes for $5000. Keep digging.
Ibanez has been selling electric guitars since the early 1960's. It is a Japanese brand of guitars selling guitars, basses, and electronics as well as accesories.

Probably the pickups. Earlier guitars have single coil pickups which give a little more feedback in overdrive, but newer guitars have humbuckers that improve on less feedback and better tone and clarity. That's if the guitars are electric. If they were acoustic, the changes would probably be lesser. Maybe just changes in structure that would have a better sound overall than earlier versions.

The Samurai became the masters of central Japan in early Japan.
Japan
Japan was not a unified country in its early days. There were multiple kingdoms whose enemies were the other kingdoms.
Let's ask Japan.
Anyone.
