Description

This is an all handmade model by Guitar Craft Workshop Sonido, located in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
This model was made in 2005 using a very elaborate construction method with a “hollowed-out structural body” machined by Sumio Yamamoto, which he arrived at after many years of guitar making.
It is believed to have a solid spruce top, a body machined from 1-piece Iroko wood, a 1-piece maple neck, and a rosewood/fingerboard.
The head has a frog design dug into it.
Despite its small size, it is a well-designed piece with good sound and design.

There are some signs of use such as minor scratches and small dents.
There are some paint chips near the top side of the body and a few scratches near the neck joint.
There is a crack at the end of the body that has been repaired.
There is a small amount of remaining truss rod looseness, but there is no noticeable abnormality on the neck, so there are no problems with the playing condition.

Item Rank: B: Fairly scratched and used, but no problems in normal use.
