Here for consideration is another great piece of early Japanese steel string guitar making.
This is an ‘Antoria’ Nashville 690-F which is the same guitar as the Salvador Ibanez branded guitar
Overall very good vintage condition supplied unrestored
These are an ‘oversize’ dreadnought with nice bassy tone.
Spruce top maple body, maple neck, Brazilian Rosewood bridge and fretboard.
One of the first X braced guitars made in Japan.
Probably made by FujiGen Gakki circa early 60’s
So at the best part of 60 years old, really the piece is in excellent condition
A setup may be required, as with any vintage, and this guitar is priced low to accommodate that, however the guitar is fully playable as she stands with a nice low action.
There are no apparent repairs or issues, expected weathering can be seen and adds to the vibe and charm of this great guitar.
As restorers and enthusiasts we collected a series of these guitars over the years and now making the collection available,
Grab a great piece of early Japanese guitar craft.
Enjoy!
