Question
I have this beautiful 12 string, a 1993 I believe, serial #52836 and
model #WY-1-12 Question 1: does the number one in the model number
mean it is the only one like this? Or just one in a series of twelve? and
question 2: do you have any idea what it might be worth?
Thanks in advance
D-Fly

Answer
I found a K.Yairi that is the same model, and it came back as a Bob Weir signature model. Here is the link to that site

Here is a link to a brochure of the guitar...

As the site didn't list a price, I can't give you an accurate value. I would turn to the Blue Book of Acoustic Guitars to find out what it is worth. Thank you for your question!
