Compared to a standard 650mm scale classical guitar, this instrument is slightly smaller in construction, but it boasts good sound quality and sufficient volume.
This is being sold as part of a collection clear-out, and we hope it finds a good home with someone looking for a short-scale classical guitar.
The instrument is in excellent condition with no signs of repairs such as cracks in the wood or lifting of the braces, and the neck is not warped. While there are some minor playing scratches on the top, the finish is not deteriorated. Considering it was made approximately 40 years ago, the instrument is in remarkably beautiful condition and is ready to be played immediately.
It will be shipped in the Super Light case shown in the photos, packed in a cardboard box (reused), and sent via Yamato delivery service.
