Built during the golden era of Japanese guitar manufacturing, it features a \u003cstrong\u003esolid spruce top\u003c\/strong\u003e paired with what appears to be \u003cstrong\u003eBrazilian rosewood back and sides\u003c\/strong\u003e, producing a rich, balanced tone with excellent projection and plenty of low-end warmth.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar has just been \u003cstrong\u003ecleaned, restrung, and professionally set up\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it's ready to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, it is in \u003cstrong\u003egood condition\u003c\/strong\u003e.
