Product Details
________________________________

CHAKI / P-100

Chaki, a long-established manufacturer in Kyoto, was founded in 1947. In the early days, they mainly repaired and manufactured double basses. Around 1960, they started manufacturing pick guitars, and one of their early members was Mr. Shiro Tsuji, a famous builder in Japan.

It is very unique that they were making acoustic guitars with round tops, which were more similar to Gibson guitars, while Martin dreadnought guitars were the norm in the music scene at the time.

This P-100 is one that appears to have been manufactured in the 1970s. Spruce top and maple body. Crisp sound with a distinctive midrange that you can hear once you stroke it.

The tuning is flatwound, but the roundwound setting will give you a nice rock-like sound. Whenever I look at the paint and binding, I think that the roughness, which gives an American feel in a good sense, has an important meaning in the sound.

[condition]
The condition of the neck and Kibe is inspected and adjusted by an acoustic guitar professional craftsman, and all parts are good.
The neck is adjusted straight and has no scary or clogged sound, and the string height on the 12th fret is set in a comfortable performance state with 2.1 mm on the 6 string side and 1.6 mm on the first string side.
Because it is an arch top instrument of the 70's, although there are some top drops, it is not serious, but it is still one that can be used with confidence.
