This is Tokai Gakki's 60's classical guitar, "Tokai No. 70". Although it is a popular price range guitar made of plywood, it has been used for many years, and it has a dry tone and good sound. The top is made of pine wood, and the sides and back are made of zebra wood with a characteristic heather. Since the paint is lacquer, cracks (weather check) have occurred over time, giving it a dignified look.
As for the exterior, scratches and deterioration over time can be seen, but there is no major damage such as cracks or scratches.
Thank you.
Tokai Gakki Manufacturing in 1947 Since our founding, we have begun a variety of initiatives to pass on the technology and passion we have been working on as a manufacturer of domestic guitars to the next generation. It is also famous as a subcontract manufacturing company, and currently manufactures Schecter and other products. In the past, CF Martin's acoustic guitars for the Japanese market were manufactured in the 1970s and 1980s, and Fender Japan was also manufactured after Kanda Shokai acquired the trademark.
The model name, Kyomoto, is a guitar supervised by guitarist Sukinori Kyomoto, who also published a guitar instruction book. The wood grain on the back of the body is beautiful.
