The guitar for sale is a handmade "Haine" by Tadanori Kitaori, a guitar maker from Aichi Prefecture. It is believed to have been made in the 1960s, a vintage guitar that has reached its sixtieth year, crafted during the post-war recovery and the Tokyo Olympics era. While the details of Tadanori Kitaori's career are not well-known, he was a guitar maker who primarily produced acoustic guitars and arched-top guitars, and was active in Aichi Prefecture in the 1960s, where he established the Kitaori Guitar Workshop. His classical guitar series includes names such as Seika (Sacred Fire), Hekikai (Azure Sea), Kojo (Old Castle), Suiren (Water Lily), and Haine (Embryo Sound), which seem to be named according to the characteristics of the guitar's construction, appearance, and tone. Furthermore, due to the short production period, the number of his classical guitar works is small, making them rare and highly valuable today. The guitar for sale does not have side reinforcements, but it appears to be made entirely of solid wood with a substantial weight. The top is a thick solid spruce with tight grain, the sides and back are thick, beautiful quarter-sawn ovangkol, the neck is hard mahogany, the fingerboard is jet-black ebony, and the bridge appears to be beautiful quarter-sawn rosewood. In addition, the heel joint is German-style, and although the body is a slim 8.8 cm, the acoustic effect of the thick spruce and ovangkol produces a brilliant, deep, and rich sound with a sense of weight. Although this guitar has passed its sixtieth year, it has few scratches or dents and is in relatively clean condition. Also, strings for trial playing have been installed, so you can start playing it immediately.
