Product Details

This is a short scale model with a 635mm scale length, crafted by Jinichiro Matsunaga.
Top: Spruce
Back & Sides: Rosewood
Tuners: Goto
Scale Length: 635mm
Nut Width: 50mm String Spacing: 46mm
String Height: 6th string at 12th fret 3.5mm, 1st string at 12th fret 3.0mm

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.

Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.

Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.

Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.

Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
