As an amateur photographer, I needed a black, cool-looking guitar for a shoot, and after searching at a used goods store late last year, I made a surprisingly revolutionary purchase for 200,000 yen including tax. I initially planned to sell it after the shoot, but I liked the atmosphere, and the sound was cool, with a booming low-mid range rather than a shimmering high end, so I kept it at home and played it occasionally. Specifications: TOP: Western Red Cedar Solid Side/Back: Ovangkol Neck: Nato Fingerboard: Rosewood Nut: Brass, approx. 42.5mm Saddle: Brass Bridge Pins: Brass Pegs: Original Rotomatic The headstock logo is a cute buffalo logo. The export version was sold under the name DAION THE '79B. They're going for ridiculous prices these days. More than the price of this item... The frets seem to be low from the start. I'm not sure about the string marks, but the 12th fret action is set to about 2.5mm on the 6th string side and about 2mm on the 1st string side, making it very easy to play. Also, when strumming hard, there's a slight buzzing sound on the 3rd string. This adds a nice touch for playing blues, but it's not recommended for those who want a clear, sparkling sound or for those who play solo guitar extensively. I think it's a perfect dreadnought for strumming, arpeggios, and accompanying songs like blues. As a guitar that's over 45 years old, there are some minor dents and scratches. It will be shipped in a hard case wrapped in bubble wrap or corrugated cardboard, but please consider the hard case as junk for packaging purposes. If you love and enjoy vintage instruments, why not?
