Thank you for viewing. This item for sale is a 1973 Suzuki Violin Manufacturing Model No. W-500, a high-end model with a list price of 50,000 yen at the time. The sides and back are solid rosewood, and it's a very rare round shoulder guitar. My condition assessment is a 5-point scale: [Sound 5] and [Appearance 3]. Main specifications of SUZUKI W-500 Top: Solid Spruce Sides and Back: Solid Rosewood (with side crack stop) Neck: Mahogany Fingerboard and Bridge: Rosewood Pegs: SUZUKI Rotomatic High-end SUZUKI guitars rarely appear on the used market, and owners rarely part with them, so it's likely to be quite difficult to obtain one in the future. Please understand the following points before bidding: There are some noticeable scratches and dents on the body. There was a slight crack on the top board, which has been temporarily repaired with Tightbond adhesive. There are also traces of re-gluing repair on the bridge. There are no noticeable scratches on the back of the neck or the edges of the headstock. The string height is approximately 2.5mm on the 6th string side and approximately 1.7mm on the 1st string side at the 12th fret, and has been adjusted to be as low and easy to play as possible. The saddle remaining is 2mm from the bridge at its highest point. The nut width is approximately 43mm as measured with calipers, and the neck is a thin half-round shape. The frets have more than 60% remaining. There are no noticeable dents or wear on the fingerboard surface caused by fingernails. The neck has no warping, and has been adjusted to be almost straight on the fingerboard side. The adjustable rod showed some adjustment leeway. There is no lifting of the bridge, and no bulging of the surrounding top board. There is almost no tobacco smell or other odors. Although there are noticeable scratches and repair marks, it is in generally good condition. Please note that since the final adjustment is made after stringing with new strings, the 1st or 3rd string may occasionally break shortly after delivery. Strings are consumables, so please understand in such cases. It will be shipped in the high-quality hard case shown in the images. The hard case has scratches, stains, and rust on the fittings, but it does not interfere with normal use. It will be shipped via Kuroneko Yamato Takkyubin (home delivery service) with shipping included after confirmation of payment.
