Have you read anywhere or heard someone say that he actually ever HAS played a Yamaha? If not, then I don't think you're going to find such a video...

Tomatito told me the Yamaha CG171SF is Paco's favorite guitar....said he has dozens of them.....he said he used it on all the tracks of Como El Agua and that it was the only guitar that ever inspired Camaron to sing

Yeah, I thought Camaron never looked inspired in his videos...

Come on, Tomatito is a big joker. I met the guy, he made me laugh so hard when he was discussing Vicente's Ciudad de las ideas I fell off my chair.

Maybe Paco likes them just because Nino Ricardo used to endorse Yamahas as his official axe

He likes his playing a lot, but he hates the final chorus which he was mockingly singing forever. It was very funny.

Yea, a very practical joker.

How about that one where he makes that mute in a buleria? He got you there!

Yeah, Ricardo used to rave about how much he loved his Yamaha CG171SF on Twitter like 5000 times a day

I think the closest that Paco got to Yamaha was that he was "consulted" for the development and design of their flamenco guitar. This was not for the Yamaha CG171SF but for the Japanese-made FC custom series.

The FC50 sells for about US$10,330.
