The guitar offers a warm, balanced voice with strong projection and the mature tonal character that players often seek from older Japanese acoustics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example is in very good overall condition for its age. It shows normal cosmetic wear including a few light scratches and marks from decades of use, but remains a clean and attractive instrument overall. The rosewood grain on the back and sides is particularly striking, and the guitar presents very well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor transparency, there is a very slight lift visible at the center of the bridge. Both wings of the bridge remain firmly attached and stable, and the guitar currently plays well with low action. I believe the bridge is structurally sound as-is, but I always prefer to disclose details like this so buyers know exactly what they're getting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guitar has just been cleaned, restrung, and set up, and is ready for its next owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Made in Japan \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gaban FD-5 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dreadnought body \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Spruce top \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rosewood back and sides \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rosewood fingerboard and bridge \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Vintage open-gear style tuners \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fresh strings \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Professionally cleaned and set up \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Comfortable low action \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hard case included \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery good vintage condition.
