CE-500

I'm not sure what to think about this. It has a scarf joint. It makes me remember the blog by Norihiro Yoshida who said the cutoff on models between the factories was higher than CE-400.

He said:

"Raw guitars produced at the headquarters factory in Terawaki were mainly mass-produced products. We produced CE150-CE300 mass-produced products and CE400-CE600 semi-manufactured products.

Luxury handicrafts with a CE rating of 800 or higher were made at the "Terashima Factory" on the south side of Hamamatsu Station."
