Eiichi Nakade Classical Guitar 1972 – Made in Japan – Solid Top – Player Grade
1972 Eiichi Nakade classical guitar, hand-built in Japan during the golden era of Japanese luthiery.
This one has a really nice traditional look with a warm amber top and beautiful rosewood back and sides with strong grain. Classic Nakade craftsmanship throughout – clean build, lightweight, and very resonant.
Just cleaned up and restrung. Plays well as-is.
