This is not an AI description. I purchased this from a friend of mine who has to move and he needs to thin out his collection of guitars. He was never a professional player he just collected things and played for his own entertainment. This is a 60 year-old (+-) guitar and it looks like it's almost brand new. I do not play the guitar he told me it works correctly however considering its age perhaps it will need new strings. It does have three tiny ding spots on the bottom edge of the guitar I ... more

For sale is a very cool, vintage, 1960's Kawai Mayfield in one of the rarer sunbursts. This guitar shows very well for its age, with some light dings and surface scratches (very few) to complement its age. We have had it checked out by a luthier, and it plays just as you'd expect it to with very nice tones. There are a lot of tonal options on this guitar, which gives it some very solid options for many different playing styles. Made in Japan, this is a fine example of a classic and vintage ... more

This is my pristine Kawai 12-String made in Japan in 1968; s / n 681122

You never want to overstate the quality; this ol' girl is damn near perfect. Made during the "Golden Age" of Japanese Guitar manufacturing; the fact that it has a serial number tells you Kawai was proud of the materials and workmanship. They began building guitars in the early 1960's when the "Beatle" craze of that time, every teenager wanted to play guitar instead of piano. Kawai purchased the Teisco company in ... more

Hi,
I purchased this guitar around 2008 or so and haven't ever needed to set it up for my purposes
The somewhat crude shims to elevate neck and truss rod out of its intended pocket is the way the guitar came to me. It plays just fine for what I was using it for but I imagine it could be set up differently by someone who knows what they are doing.
The frets have always been flat and leveled but playable. Electronics might be scratchy and in need of cleaning. The pickups work! I've ... more

Really fun guitar from the Matsumoku factory. Two single-coils, floating adjustable bridge with thumbwheels, Bigsby-style trem, bound neck. Works great up til the 17th fret, at which point it starts to fret out. That will need to be addressed if you plan to play that high. The 3rd and 6th string tuners are missing the ferrules. Action is good. Frets have some wear in 1st position but life left. Electronics are clean. There's cracking and checking in the finish. Patina and some rust on the ... more

I am selling a 1970's(?) full size acoustic guitar (with black chipboard case) for a luthier project. Made in Japan. I am not sure which factory this was made in. String action is appr. 3 / 16" at the 12th fret (look at last two photos for this). The neck is a very skinny width but with a greater depth (U shape). Reminds me of 1960's Kay acoustics I have had in the past with a baseball bat type neck.
Selling "as is " . No returns.... more
