This Japanese vintage guitar is over 40 years old. Although it's old, there are no noticeable scratches on the exterior. You can see in the pictures that it still has a shine. The saddle, nut, and pins have been replaced with new, non-original ones. I believe this is a well-made guitar. I've used it live, recording the natural sound with a microphone, and it worked perfectly. It sounded great. It looks good too. Due to shipping costs, I'm only selling to buyers in mainland Japan. Please refrain from price negotiations.
