About This Listing

These guitars are extremely rare and they sound great! Originally selling for 85,000 Japanese yen, this was no cheap guitar! That would have been a month’s salary for a college grad back in the day. The top is solid spruce and the back and sides appear to be solid rosewood. This is one of those guitars that will surprise you with how dynamic is it. The sound just jumps from this guitar! Really nice instrument for the price! It plays great and has a good neck and room to adjust the saddle.

The guitar has a sticker shadow on the top and a few bumps and bruises from age but no real damage. Tuners work well and are original. Comes in a cool plaid gig bag!
