Intro

My passion towards YUI's guitars started last year and grew towards a crazy extent through this thread. I think I've covered most of it and hereby I'll share my 'findings' with you guys. Feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes, I DEMAND you to tell me. If you happen to own the same guitar as YUI's, you may send me pictures of it to make me jealous.

I might get sue for putting up these pictures >.<







Those are her Fender guitars. We are gonna talk about the story behind these guitars one by one next. The guitars which YUI actually used it in live performances. YUI once counted the number of guitars she has in Yahoo Live Talk (2006/06/07). She has 3-4 electric guitars, 6-7 acoustic guitars, and one bass guitar.

In a Singapore paper (The New Paper) interview (2007/05/22), YUI said that she has 4 electrics, 5 acoustics and 2 basses. They got her electric wrong so don't believe in it too much =x

Here's a list of the guitars YUI uses before in public.
