I'm organizing my guitars. I've made various adjustments and performed maintenance to make them easy to play. #My Guitar Listings #Regular Size Listings #Japanese Vintage Guitar Listings #Cow Bone Upgrade Listings 【Brand】Morales A popular Japanese vintage guitar brand, Morales. 【Model】Morales LYRE BIRD SPECIAL 【Description】 The neck is almost straight (with a very slight forward bow) when tuned to regular tuning, adjusted to an ideal condition. Highly popular as a Japanese vintage guitar, it is supported by many players and collectors. Although there are some scratches, it is in good condition considering it's about 40 years old. It has a bold and deep bass sound, while also having a brilliant high-end sound, a gorgeous tone typical of rosewood. It has a well-balanced, sparkling sound in arpeggios, which is very pleasant. Even with strumming, the balance is maintained, and you can enjoy the dry, aged sound unique to vintage guitars. Although it doesn't have flashy decorations, it's a very resonant instrument. Recommended for those who especially value sound! The nut and saddle have been upgraded by replacing them with oil-soaked cow bone. ※Reference: Typical replacement costs (excluding parts) Nut replacement: Approximately 11,550 yen Saddle replacement: Approximately 8,690 yen Custom work equivalent to over 20,000 yen has been done. ★Trivia about nuts and saddles★ These are important parts that transmit string vibrations to the body. Especially those made of cow bone are used in many high-end guitars. 【12th Fret String Height】 6th string: Approximately 2.5 mm 1st string: Approximately 2.0 mm 【Materials】 Top: Ezo spruce Sides/Back: Rosewood 3P 【Size】 Dreadnought Length: Approximately 105 cm Width: Approximately 39.7 cm Body thickness: Approximately 12.3 cm 【Maintenance】 I use a dedicated cloth, polish, lemon oil, etc., to regularly care for each part.
