Quick notes:
1 — This is consigned.
2 — Any repair work has been done so it plays spot-on unless otherwise noted!
3 — I usually ship in 2-3 days but sometimes can get backed-up if a lot of orders come in at once. I like to make sure I have time to check the setup, restring if the strings are tired, and make any adjustments needed before shipping. If you need faster shipping, please make me aware!
4 — Please read the following text for full details and specs -- it's borrowed from my original blog post on it...
5 -- I changed the date to '75 per a message sent to me:
"This serial number is from 1975.

Now back to the original description...
Tama guitars from the '70s are pretty well-respected in the guitar community focused on Japanese-made instruments. They're outwardly "close to Martin clones" but are usually solid tops fit to ply back and sides (as in the case of this guy. It's built well and has a great, D-18-a-like sound to it despite the fact that the back and sides are ply rosewood (jacaranda veneer). Its handling is very Martin-like, too.
Bonus details on this model include neat "bordered" binding/purfling in faux-pearl, genuine Grover tuners at the headstock, and a '60s-looking Martin-style cut to the overall build.
It's been adjusted to play spot-on and it does -- with a robust, punchy voice that you would expect from a nice-quality dreadnought.
Condition notes: it has a hairline crack along the treble side of the fretboard extension on the top that has been repaired and cleated from behind. The saddle is on the low side but still has a little bit of adjustment left -- and I've added a little extra ramping behind the saddle running to the string slots to keep downpressure good on the saddle. The guitar is entirely original save the saddle, a strap button at the side of the neck's heel, and an endpin jack and pickup install (an iBeam pickup or similar, it looks like).
It comes with: sorry, no case.
