Up for sale is a great guitar at an
intermediate price point, these are one of the best Japanese classical guitars
on the market. They have great volume
and quality of tone. Playability is superb with fretwork equal to the best
concert guitars. This model, JM15C was
built by Tsuji Wataru, master luthiers of Asturias since 1981. This model has been renamed Custom after John
Mills broke connection with Asturias.
However, the two models, JM15 and custom, are not exactly the same. I personally preferred an earlier model, JM15.
This
guitar is one of the best sounding guitars I ever played under $3000. The JM15C has a solid Cedar top, solid
rosewood back and sides, and ebony fingerboard. It has incredible volume and is super
responsive. Its basses are deep but very
clean with plenty overtones. Trebles are
super clear but sweet and colorful at the same time. Despite its very high volume note separation
of this guitar is simply superb.
This
guitar is in excellent condition even with its age. Some minor scratches barely noticeable. Just some cloudy area and a few cloudy spots,
typical for aged guitar. Come with a
hardshell case.
