1980 Cervantes "Clase 500" Classical Guitar - Made in Japan, w/OHSC!

These Cervantes nylon-string guitars have become a cult item, as many players have realized some Japanese luthiers from this era rival many of the modern Spanish builders at a fraction of the price! Solid Cedar top and neck with rosewood back, sides, and fingerboard. Comfortable nut width (2") similar to the traditional Ramirez guitars from Spain that inspired many of the Japanese builders from this era. Excellent feel with great volume and projection - an excellent balance between highs and lows. All original - not much room left on the saddle, but the action is very comfortable as-is - at the 12th fret, 5mm on bass side and 4mm on treble side.  

Very little wear on the frets, and some mild finish checking and case wear from its 40 years of use, but all so minute that it does not show up in photos. A masterfully-crafted instrument! Will ship in OHSC.
