A rare bird. An amazing example of the finest Japanese craftsmanship although if you’re checking this ad you know that already. Much more resonant and alive than the best GB10’s I’ve tried. It’s an outstanding guitar. The set up is perfect. The frets, the neck shape and body size make this guitar extremely comfortable. It has been played. It has been my main guitar for a while, but it is in very good shape as you can see in the pics. Gold hardware is a little bit rusty, but I love that look.
It comes with NOHSC. It has metal tune o magic bridge right now, but I will add the original Ebony for a more acoustic response...
