I purchased this myself 41 years ago (probably in 1984) at Shibuya YAMAHA, which was located on Dogenzaka in Shibuya at the time. I mainly played it during my student days, and afterwards, I've taken it out occasionally to play, polish, and admire it, carefully storing it as a one-owner item. As for its condition, there are scratches from picks and other signs of aging, such as a neck scratch from when it fell over, but I believe it still produces a good sound. I think it's a rare piece now. I would love to pass it on to someone who will cherish it. Please understand that this is a vintage item that is over 40 years old and that I am a private seller, not a business. No claims or returns are accepted.
