This guitar is a handmade guitar by the extremely rare and mysterious guitar maker, Kyosuke. Kyosuke's guitars occasionally appear on the market, but little is known about the maker's profile. Some speculate that it may be a commissioned work from a domestic guitar workshop. Personally, I suspect it's a handmade piece from a workshop in the Shinano region. The guitar is carefully crafted, as expected of a handmade instrument, using thin materials to provide strength while maintaining a compact and lightweight design for easy handling. The production period is estimated to be around the 1970s-80s, and while there are some scratches and dents, it's in relatively good condition for its age. It's difficult to tell from the photos, but it's an incredibly good piece! The top is made of tight-grained spruce, the sides and back are striped mahogany, the neck is mahogany, and the fingerboard and bridge appear to be rosewood. The acoustic properties of spruce and mahogany create a beautiful and soft tone. Also, strings for trial playing are already installed, so you can start playing it right away. I'm a novice, so I haven't made any adjustments. There is some age-related deterioration. For all guitar enthusiasts, please consider this Kyosuke No. NG-1 guitar, a mysterious maker whose instruments are now difficult to obtain.
