TERADA FW504 acoustic guitar from the 70's MIJ Made in Japan Gibson Dove Copy + Case

Terada guitar from the 70's is for sale. Made in Japan. Model FW504. It's a copy of a Gibson Dove guitar. Adjustable bridge. Loud and rich sound. According to the information that can be find online, it has a solid spruce top, and the rest of the body is a maple laminate (some say that the sides are also solid).

A bit narrow neck for my taste (40mm string spacing at zero fret). String action is OK. Play is easy and fun.

The set includes an old-style case - made of hardened cardboard.

All used with many traces of it, but still usable and will give you a lot of fun playing. I tried to show the state as accurately as possible in the pictures. If you need more, let me know.

I recorded iPhone 4 short samples of this guitar. If anyone is interested, I can send them via Whaatsap.

What problems should be paid attention to:

• Case in the upper corner is damaged,

• I don't know if tuners are genuine. They work without a problems, but on the back of the headstock you can see 2 holes stuck under them. They are asymmetrical and therefore it is difficult for me to imagine that they would be traces of old tuners, but on the other hand I do not understand why someone was making such holes?

• Frets in a sufficient condition (you can still play them, but a delicate cut would not hurt them if you were completely happy),

• no pickguard,

• guitar has numerous scratches, dents and bruises. However, it is not cracked,

• In lower corner, the back plate has a loss in the laminate. Below this you can also see the damage,

• strings for replacement.

  
  An instrument with a soul. Worth the money.
