Rider J-300HB by HAYASHI Hummingbird Ebony 1977 Momose-era Matsumoto MIJ Japan Vintage

Super RARE "Hummingbird Ebony"

Rider J-300HB Black by HAYASHI Momose-era

“Rider” is the brand that was produced by Japanese Luthier Mr.Momose when he belonged Hayashi in Matsumoto Japan. This brand was produced for only two years.and after that Mr.Momose has established HEADWAY. Mr. Momose's high guitar-making skills and extensive knowledge at Rider led to the establishment of the first HEADWAY, which can be said to be one of the best in Japan.

At that time, the mainstream acoustic guitars in Japan were Martin replicas, but Rider was one of the first brands to produce Gibson/Guild replicas, which were very popular. We believe that the fact that the guitars were not only good looking but also well made is the reason why they are still loved by many fans.
This guitar has a custom color: Black Hummingbird Ebony that is not in the catalog, and is especially rare in the phantom brand “Rider”.

SPECIAL FEATURE: Hummingbird pick guard ,70s GOTOH Rotomatic pegs

The splendor of the structure is also reflected in the sound. The balance between the firm and luscious sound of the mahogany body and the generous bass sound of the large-capacity square shoulder body is the best. It seems that the adoption of a non-adjustable saddle similar to the 70s Gibson Hummingbird greatly affects the sound. It is good to stroke "KING of R&R" by picking and is also good to play "Black Bird" with finger picking. It will make you almighty.

**There is a few cloudiness on head that peculiar to Japanese guitars in this era.

The overall condition as an instrument is superb.
There are some traces of past usage and aging, including dents.
