Asturias Wataru Tsuji N-2 Spruce/Indian Rosewood 1996 Japan

For sale is a beautiful classical guitar made by one of leading Japanese luthiers Wataru Tsuji (head of Asturias production). This model is called N2, made in 1996. This is a full-size advanced student model with slightly narrower body. Current retail price for same-grade model Tsuji S-2 is around 1700 EUR in Japan.

All solid woods: Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back and sides, neck is mahogany, fretboard is striped ebony. Bracing is classic 7-strut fan, scale is 650 mm, nut width is 52 mm. Finish is Nitro/PU. Craftsmanship level is high, just what you expect from such a skilled luthier.

Very good condition for a 30 years old guitar- there is general feel of use, some dings and scratches, slight fretboard wear, but nothing serious to mention. No cracks, no repairs. Geometry is just fine. Strings are currently at standard height, with the saddle allowing to lower them for another 1-1.5 mm if needed. New D'Addario Pro Arte EJ45 set is installed.

Sound-wise, It's a lovely balanced, dynamic and projective instrument, with vivid Spanish character and Japanese clarity. Perfect for advanced students and classical guitar enthusiasts. Please ask for a demo and I'll record one for you. Comes in deluxe SuperLight case.

I'm located in Dresden, international shipping is possible. Thanks!
