A guitar crafted by Ehime Prefecture luthier Kenji Hirokawa, serial number 137 (made in 2017). Mr. Hirokawa uses and provides guitar wood that is highly trusted, even supplying wood for Kotaro Oshio's guitars. Despite its compact body, thanks to the three-piece construction with maple sandwiched between the rosewood back, it produces a warm, woody sound with controlled overtones, rather than a boomy tone. The short scale (610mm string length) makes it easy to play for those with smaller hands, smaller builds, and women. (Image 18 compares it to a standard size.) It features carefully crafted decorations (rosette and purfling) and Gotoh tuners with a Benten-do original cat design for smooth operation. There are no cracks, splits, or repair history. While the woody, rich sound and maneuverability are noteworthy for pop and bossa nova, this Hauser model truly shines when playing classical pieces, romantic era music, or Japanese lyrical songs, offering an exceptional atmosphere and playing experience. How about this Hauser model, perfect for your living room or bedside, both visually appealing and a joy to play? 【Dimensions (mm)】 Overall Length: 950 Scale Length: 610 Neck Width: 54 Body Length: 555 Upper Bout: 255 Lower Bout: 340 Body Depth: Upper Bout: 96 Lower Bout: 110 【Selling Price】 300,000 yen Accessories (consider these as extras) ・Mini-size semi-hard case ・Replacement strings (Augustine Black)
