This sideback features a single-piece maple "kaede" (maple) top, and the neck also has the unique character of maple! The back has a slight tiger stripe pattern, and I think it has a bright sound. ※ To everyone considering this item: We look forward to hearing from you!

(About the product) Reliable GOTOH single-post pegs were replaced in 2022. Peg marks remain, but they were replaced with reliable tuners. (I once installed a Chinese product that resembled the original, but it wasn't smooth, so I replaced it with the gold-colored, well-regarded, and favorite GOTOH pegs) ・Of course, the 1964 product is from the year the first Tokyo Olympics were held, a very retro classical guitar, and I like the unique tiger stripe pattern of the back, sides, and neck, and the bright sound. ・Although I mentioned it was slightly dirty, it's relatively clean! ・I am at an age where I have to let go of one of my two guitars, and I would like to ask someone who likes it to purchase it.
