Yukihiro Watanabe No. 15 19 1975 Mr. Yukihiro Watanabe is a luthier who became independent after training for about 6 years at the workshop of Nakade Sakuzo. This instrument is believed to be from the early days of his independence, as it has a handwritten label. The interior is also painted, and the brushstrokes give the impression that it was made with great care. The top is solid spruce, the sides and back are high-quality solid rosewood, and the fingerboard is ebony. The tuners are Heifner, which were used by domestic luthiers only for their higher-end instruments during this period. As a 150,000 yen model from 1975, carefully selected materials are used. The condition is as follows: there are two inconspicuous cracks on the top under the bridge (center and 6th string side), which have been repaired with adhesive. There are no cracks on the sides or back. Overall, it gives the impression of a beautiful item with few scratches. Yukihiro Watanabe carefully crafted this No. 15 19 from 1975 in his early independent days. We look forward to your consideration.
