Thank you for viewing! This item for sale is a Model No. SC-50 released in 1978 by Nagoya Suzuki Violin. It was likely a handmade classical guitar with a list price of 50,000 yen at the time. It has a wonderful construction without any shortcuts. Due to recent price increases, the price of vintage Japanese guitars is likely to rise in the future. Please consider bidding on this opportunity. It will be delivered after cleaning and adjustment of each part. My condition assessment is a 5-point scale: [Appearance 3] [Sound 5]. The evaluation of the item is based on my subjective opinion. Main specifications: Top: Solid Spruce Sides: Rosewood Plywood Back: Solid Rosewood Neck: Mahogany Fingerboard/Bridge: Rosewood A non-functional old microphone was installed, but our workshop has installed a FISHMAN active piezo pickup. The rich mid-high tones that spread just by strumming are truly the Suzuki Violin sound. High-quality materials of the time are used extensively. The condition of this instrument is described below. The body has almost no noticeable large scratches, and it is expected to be active in live performances and practice sessions. I have confirmed the sound output of both pickups when connected to an amplifier. There is no unpleasant scratchy noise or poor contact. The top has a repaired crack on the left side of the neck, but it is hardly noticeable. The sides and back show slight dents. There are no noticeable dents on the back of the neck or the headstock edges. The original pegs show no rust on the plated surface, and their movement is smooth. The string height is approximately 3.0mm on the 6th string side and approximately 2.5mm on the 1st string side at the 12th fret, adjusted to a low and easy-to-play height. The remaining height of the saddle is just under 2mm. The nut width is approximately 51mm, measured with calipers. The fret life remaining is over 90%, and there is no uneven wear. There are not many noticeable scratches, and it is in quite good condition. It will be shipped nationwide, including the shipping cost via Yamato Mercari, in the original hard case shown in the image.
