A guitar crafted by luthier Kenji Hirokawa (Bentendo) of Ehime Prefecture, serial number 137 (made in 2017). Mr. Hirokawa uses and provides guitar materials that are highly trusted, so much so that they are used in Kotaro Oshio's guitars. Despite its compact body, the three-piece construction with maple sandwiched between rosewood back materials provides a sweet, warm, woody sound. The short scale (610mm string length) makes it easy to play for those with small hands, smaller builds, and women. (Image 18 compares it to a standard size.) The detailed decorations (rosette and purfling) are enjoyable to look at, and the Gotoh tuners with the Bentendo original cat design are smooth to operate. There are no cracks, splits, or repair history. This woody, rich sound and maneuverability are noteworthy for pop and bossa nova, but you can also enjoy the outstanding atmosphere and playing comfort for classical pieces or Japanese lyrical songs. How about a Hauser model that's good to look at and play, perfect for your living room or bedside? 【Size (mm)】 Overall Length: 950 Scale Length: 610 Neck Width: 54 Body Length: 555 Upper Bout: 255 Lower Bout: 340 Body Thickness: Upper: 96 Lower: 110 【Selling Price】 300,000 yen Accessories (consider these as extras) ・Mini-size semi-hard case
