This is a classical guitar made by Sumio Kurosawa in 1968. It has some wear and tear from age, but considering its age, it seems to be in good condition. The instrument is fully functional and produces a vibrant, resonant sound. It is recommended for beginners as well as intermediate and advanced players as a second guitar. For shipping, the instrument will be strung with new strings, then the strings will be loosened. The guitar will be protected with bubble wrap and shipped in a hard case.
