This is a vintage Japanese handmade classical guitar, built circa the late 1960s to early 1970s, featuring an original handwritten Japanese workshop label inside the body. These labels are typical of small Japanese luthier shops of the era and indicate hand construction rather than factory mass production.

Construction & Features:

  • Classical (nylon-string) guitar
  • Traditional slotted headstock
  • Original open-gear tuners
  • Rosewood bridge and fingerboard
  • Warm, lightly built body typical of Japanese classicals from this period
  • Comes with original hard case

Condition Notes (PLEASE READ):

  • Bridge is lifting, clearly visible in photos
  • Minor crack on the top, currently unrepaired but appears stable
  • Typical cosmetic wear throughout (checking, scratches, dings) consistent with age
  • Neck appears straight, and guitar remains structurally intact aside from the issues noted above

This guitar is being sold as-is and will require repair to be fully playable and structurally correct. Because of this, it is ideal for:

  • A repair-savvy player
  • A luthier project
  • Someone familiar with vintage classical restorations

Why this guitar is still special:

Japanese handmade classical guitars from this era are increasingly appreciated for their light build, warm tone, and traditional Spanish-influenced construction. Once properly repaired, this could be a very satisfying vintage classical.

Please review all photos carefully and feel free to ask any questions before purchasing.
