This is a hand-made cedar guitar. You can expect superb playability, coupled with warm and powerful tone. The mid-range tone is full and rounded, higher range is bright and clear, while still punchy; the bass is responsive, just as you can expect from a fine hand made Japanese guitar.
The action is set for my performance standard, and I had D'addario EJ 46 (High tension) on it. It doesn't feel hard at all, and the left hand is very comfortable. Also, the neck profile is slightly thinner than many other Japanese makers (ie. Kohno, Matsuoka)
There are dents and scratches. The obvious ones are the scratches from the 1st string slipage. The previous owner is most likely amature player. This guitar can easily priced at USD 3000 at used market, if it wasn't for its cosmatic flaws.
