Tama guitars are something special.

Handmade by a select group of select Japanese luthiers for a few years in the mid to late 70s, they represent amongst the highest quality guitars of the period, both in skill of craft and the materials used.

They are modestly priced considering their quality and the respective price of say, a like-sounding Martin.

As the years go by, their value likely will rise and rise.

This 3555 model is mind-boggling in quality when you consider its age.

It features a fantastic solid top, rosewood back and sides, with double abalone binding on both the top and the back, and wood inlay mosaic down the centre of the back, all beautifully done.

The bridge is ebony with a bone saddle. The mahogany neck is quite a chunky C profile and is an ease to play, finished in semi-gloss, with a bound rosewood fretboard and finely finished frets with mother-of-pearl dot position markers.

The headstock is square shaped with a rosewood veneer and Tama logo in mother-of-pearl and a Tama truss rod cover.

It has superb German quality/made Vintage Schaller Tuners, not the normally seen GOTOH tuners found on some Tamas, though these look original stock, but possibly upgraded.

One of the great joys about the Tama luthiers is their hand finished bracing.

These hand scalloped braces are quite beautifully done and are of the highest quality fit - most owners believe it is this attention and subtle craft that makes these guitars sing with such depth of tone and crisp volume.

It is a true pleasure to play and own.

NOTE:- it has a pre-made, custom pickup jack hole, as per the photo, if you wish to add a EQ pickup later on.
