About This Listing

This guitar was made by the great luthier, Yukinobu Chai in 1977. It has a few of very slight scratches, dents, and two hair-like cracks about two inches (repaired in Japan) that I took some photos with very close distances to help you understand more clearly its condition.

I really do not know how to play or not have any experience on an Alto/Requinto, so please check photos. All things will base on your experience and understanding before give me your offer. Thank you so much.

Specifications:
MSRP: 150,000 yen
Top: Solid Spruce
Back/sides: Solid Brazilian rosewood with straight grain?
Fretboard: ebony
Bone nut and saddles

Body dimensions:

Body length: 42.0 cm
Body depth: 10.0 cm
Total length: 87.0 cm
Width at lower bout: 32.0 cm
Width at upper bout: 24.0 cm
Width at waist: 21.0 cm
Nut width: 50mm
Scale: 530 mm

The action is set to 3.0 mm under E6 and 2.8 mm under E1, with some extra room left on the saddle.
Comes with a vintage Japanese Hard case in very good condition

I tuned and played it as a classical guitar, so strings are a little bit loose.

Please price is firm

Thanks
