Ibanez Salvador copy of Raffaele Calace No 9000 1950s

This rare Ibanez Savlador Raffaele Calace classical acoustic guitar was built in Japan (Japan/Hoshino Gakki Tama) and this original has an unusual placed tailpiece that I don’t have a clue why it was attached. This guitar; however has an amazing sound either for open picking, slide or everyday strumming. It may need some modification to lower action if needed. It’s one of the best sounding guitars I have played.
