Vintage Japanese GuitarsSuivre la boutique

"When it comes to classical guitars, Japanese luthiers were already building fine instruments and solving technical challenges that would soon make them major exporters well into the 1980s. Some of these vintage guitars now represent excellent value, whether you’re looking for a concert-grade or very high-quality student guitar.
Exceptionally talented Japanese luthiers include Konho, Sakurai, Hiroshi Komori, Masaru Matano, Eichi Kodaira, Ryoji Matsuoka, Hiroshi Tamura, Mituru Tamura, Seizo Shinano, Mass Hirade, and numerous others.

For example: "The primary reason that Japanese classical guitars exhibit a split personality involves the vicissitudes of climate, as discovered by Shiro Arai (Arai & Co., Aria guitars) when he traveled to the United States to promote Japanese classical guitars in the early 1960s. He brought high-end guitars to test the market and within weeks most had imploded due to climatic differences, exposure to heating systems, etc. Upon Arai’s return, Japanese luthiers started using better seasoned lumber, developed their trademark bi-laminated backs and sides—which many people derided as “plywood” during the ’70s. All designed to help them survive alien environments outside of Japan", from A Look at Vintage Japanese Classical Guitars

Because these guitars are used vintage guitars, you need to accept the fact that such guitars may have cosmetic flaws solely associated with their age, but not related to any particular damage. For example their finishes change their look over the years or coating cracks and are not glossy and crystal clear like on brand new guitar. In addition, some of them could have a slightly bowed neck, so I have to down their saddles according to the standards even though I do not like to do them. It is simple I like them in original condition.

All my guitars will be made level frets and cleaned before being sold. However, there are also shortcomings because I am not a luthier. Please forgive this.

I'm just a collector and a player, so the information and prices I'm posting online in my sale is largely based on information from previous sellers in the U.S. If you find out any of my mistakes, please let me know and forgive me. I really appreciate this.

My English is not good, so my feedback is sometimes late or lacking in subtlety, please ignore this in my sales.

Thank you for your interest in my guitars.
