His classical and steel-string acoustic guitars have earned worldwide recognition, treasured by musicians for their quality, playability, and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCentral to Yairi's success was his philosophy of offering exceptional instruments at accessible prices. Over the course of his career, he trained and mentored many young luthiers, ensuring his standards of craftsmanship carried on through their work. His workshop, located in Kani in Japan's Gifu Prefecture, produced a wide variety of models, some made exclusively for export. Yet, a large portion of Yairi's guitars never reached markets in the United States or Europe, making them rare and highly sought after today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar presented here was built in 1982, positioned as a mid-range model within Yairi's Torres-style series. These instruments were created with ensemble players in mind and offered a complete range of voices: Prime (P), Alto (A), Soprano (S), Bass (B), and Contrabass (CB). All were crafted under the supervision of Saburo Nogami, a legendary luthier in his own right and the very first apprentice of Masaru Kohno.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its original price of 50,000 yen, this guitar was far from a beginner's instrument. Still, when compared with similar models from other prominent Japanese makers, Yairi's guitars consistently offered greater value. His deliberate choice to keep prices modest was a cornerstone of his business approach and a key reason for his international acclaim. Today, guitars of comparable quality from Japanese workshops are typically priced around $2,500.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt in the Torres tradition, this guitar features a body slightly smaller than average, with a narrower upper bout and waist. These proportions give it a more elongated profile compared to most classical guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sound, however, is where the instrument truly shines. Its voice is marked by crystalline, colorful trebles; resonant basses with a metallic edge; excellent note separation; and an impressive sustain.

Produced at the same small workshop in Kurume, Japan, the team comprises approximately 10 highly skilled craftsmen, each capable of independently crafting a guitar. Since 1981, the workshop has been under the leadership of master luthier Wataru Tsuiji.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kurume workshop's guitar-making journey began in 1962 as Meiko Gakki co., under the ownership of the legendary Japanese luthier Masaru Matano, known as \"the genius of sound.\" Matano earned this title before 1962 by enhancing the sound of numerous old violins, including renowned Stradivarius violins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, Meiko Gakki workshop focused on crafting classical guitars in limited numbers with a strong emphasis on quality. These guitars were initially sold under the Meiko Gakki label and signed by Matano. Around 1968, the labels were changed to \"Masaru Matano Constructor de Guitarras,\" and by 1974-1975, another series of guitars with unique design labels was introduced, indicating production in Fukuoka, Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond this, during the same period of 1974-1975, Matano, along with a group of associates, produced La Esperanza guitars under the label \"Ongaku Geijutsusha Co.\" Unlike Matano's guitars, La Esperanza guitars predominantly featured Spruce tops and Ramirez-style headstocks. While most of Matano's label guitars were not signed, many La Esperanza guitars had labels signed by their actual makers. The production of La Esperanza guitars continued until 1982, though in limited quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatano, like many luthiers, always worked with a team of highly skilled associates. Tatsuo Tanaka, his associate in the late 1960s, was the only one allowed to put his name on Meiko Gakki labels. The names of other associates, including Hiroumi Yamaguchi and Eichi Kodaira, remain unconfirmed, but they later joined the \"New\" Asturias team in 1980. In 1980, Rokkomann Co took over Matano's Kurume workshop, marking the birth of the \"New\" Asturias workshop. The details of this transition and Matano's disappearance in 1981 remain unclear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1981, Wataru Tsuji has led the Asturias workshop. In the same year, the \"New\" Asturias workshop implemented a serial number system on labels. The design, created in the mid-1970s, remained unchanged and was used on some of Matano's guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotably, associated luthiers such as Hiromi Yamaguchi, who established the \"Cervantes\" Concierto Guitarras brand in the early 1970s, and Eichi Kodaira, responsible for making AST models within the \"New\" Asturias team, played crucial roles. The narrative also highlights the continued success of Kodaira's workshop, operating with only three employees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuitars crafted by these Asturias-associated luthiers are highly regarded by international players for their quality, often considered the best in the mid-price range for classical concert guitars. It's essential to note that the pricing of guitars made by these artisans has consistently been moderate compared to similar-grade guitars by Masaru Kohno and other Japanese elite luthiers. Until 1980, Matano's top model, the Classe 1000, was priced at 100,000 yen, competing favorably with Masaru Kohno #20 from the same year. Until 1982, top Cervantes, La Esperanza, and Ecole models were also priced at 100,000 yen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e More general history on Vintage Japanese Classical Guitars. \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the late 1960s Japanese luthiers produced guitars of exceptional quality. These skilled craftsmen typically ran small shops, employing a handful of master builders who were often trained in Spain or under Spanish master builders in Japan. During this period, bans on certain types of wood were not yet in place, allowing luthiers to source high-quality wood for their creations. Although these guitars are considered a bargain in today's market, finding top-quality Japanese classical guitars from this era can be challenging, and restrictions on exporting certain types of wood make them even more difficult to obtain. Similar guitars built with comparable materials today would cost significantly more due to the scarcity or complete bans on certain types of wood. Most of those talented luthiers from the 70s and 80s are now retired or have passed away. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Asturias","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44602796965981,"sku":"rev-97165959","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/a85e84f7-9740-4c48-b579-f8055898946b.jpg?v=1783880129"},{"product_id":"jose-ramirez-limited-edition-125-anos-classical-guitar-spain-2008","title":"Jose Ramirez Limited Edition 125 Años Classical Guitar Spain 2008","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor over half a century, the name of \u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJose Ramirez \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e is perhaps the most recognized to classical and flamenco guitar aficionados.

These skilled craftsmen typically ran small shops, employing a handful of master builders who were often trained in Spain or under Spanish master builders in Japan. During this period, bans on certain types of wood were not yet in place, allowing luthiers to source high-quality wood for their creations. Although these guitars are considered a bargain in today's market, finding top-quality Japanese classical guitars from this era can be challenging, and restrictions on exporting certain types of wood make them even more difficult to obtain. Similar guitars built with comparable materials today would cost significantly more due to the scarcity or complete bans on certain types of wood. Most of those talented luthiers from the 70s and 80s are now retired or have passed away. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harutaka Nagasue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44602816135261,"sku":"rev-91534187","price":950.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/eu58vaghzgv8s3omwth2.jpg?v=1783880553"},{"product_id":"jose-ramirez-2n-cwe-cutaway-nylon-string-acoustic-electric-guitar-handmade-in-spain-2008-solid-cedar-irw","title":"Jose Ramirez 2N-CWE Cutaway Nylon String Acoustic Electric Guitar Handmade in Spain 2008, Solid Cedar, IRW","description":"\u003cp\u003eA gorgeous, great sounding Jose Ramirez handmade in Spain in 2008\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor over half a century, the name of \u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Jose Ramirez \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e is perhaps the most recognized to classical and flamenco guitar aficionados.

These skilled craftsmen typically ran small shops, employing a handful of master builders who were often trained in Spain or under Spanish master builders in Japan. During this period, bans on certain types of wood were not yet in place, allowing luthiers to source high-quality wood for their creations. Although these guitars are considered a bargain in today's market, finding top-quality Japanese classical guitars from this era can be challenging, and restrictions on exporting certain types of wood make them even more difficult to obtain. Similar guitars built with comparable materials today would cost significantly more due to the scarcity or complete bans on certain types of wood. Most of those talented luthiers from the 70s and 80s are now retired or have passed away. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ryoji Matsuoka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44602817085533,"sku":"rev-90792454","price":925.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/oiaf3f9zmnua2asytjki.jpg?v=1783880713"},{"product_id":"masahiro-nakamura-mn-18-handmade-classical-guitar-japan-2010-solid-spruce-and-irw-excellent","title":"Masahiro Nakamura MN-18 Handmade Classical Guitar Japan 2010 Solid Spruce and IRW","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rare and beautiful MN-18 Guitar hand-built by \u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Masahiro Nakamura \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e at the Asturias workshop in 2010\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore info on Asturias guitars below the Specs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is a concert class instrument with excellent volume and sustain, wide dynamic range, well balanced trebles and basses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Condition \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is excellent condition considering the age. \u003cbr\u003eIt has a few minor signs of use that can only be seen up close.

Produced at the same small workshop in Kurume, Japan, the team comprises approximately 10 highly skilled craftsmen, each capable of independently crafting a guitar. Since 1981, the workshop has been under the leadership of master luthier Wataru Tsuiji.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kurume workshop's guitar-making journey began in 1962 as Meiko Gakki co., under the ownership of the legendary Japanese luthier Masaru Matano, known as \"the genius of sound.\" Matano earned this title before 1962 by enhancing the sound of numerous old violins, including renowned Stradivarius violins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, Meiko Gakki workshop focused on crafting classical guitars in limited numbers with a strong emphasis on quality. These guitars were initially sold under the Meiko Gakki label and signed by Matano. Around 1968, the labels were changed to \"Masaru Matano Constructor de Guitarras,\" and by 1974-1975, another series of guitars with unique design labels was introduced, indicating production in Fukuoka, Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond this, during the same period of 1974-1975, Matano, along with a group of associates, produced La Esperanza guitars under the label \"Ongaku Geijutsusha Co.\" Unlike Matano's guitars, La Esperanza guitars predominantly featured Spruce tops and Ramirez-style headstocks. While most of Matano's label guitars were not signed, many La Esperanza guitars had labels signed by their actual makers. The production of La Esperanza guitars continued until 1982, though in limited quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatano, like many luthiers, always worked with a team of highly skilled associates. Tatsuo Tanaka, his associate in the late 1960s, was the only one allowed to put his name on Meiko Gakki labels. The names of other associates, including Hiroumi Yamaguchi and Eichi Kodaira, remain unconfirmed, but they later joined the \"New\" Asturias team in 1980. In 1980, Rokkomann Co took over Matano's Kurume workshop, marking the birth of the \"New\" Asturias workshop. The details of this transition and Matano's disappearance in 1981 remain unclear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1981, Wataru Tsuji has led the Asturias workshop. In the same year, the \"New\" Asturias workshop implemented a serial number system on labels. The design, created in the mid-1970s, remained unchanged and was used on some of Matano's guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotably, associated luthiers such as Hiromi Yamaguchi, who established the \"Cervantes\" Concierto Guitarras brand in the early 1970s, and Eichi Kodaira, responsible for making AST models within the \"New\" Asturias team, played crucial roles. The narrative also highlights the continued success of Kodaira's workshop, operating with only three employees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuitars crafted by these Asturias-associated luthiers are highly regarded by international players for their quality, often considered the best in the mid-price range for classical concert guitars. It's essential to note that the pricing of guitars made by these artisans has consistently been moderate compared to similar-grade guitars by Masaru Kohno and other Japanese elite luthiers. Until 1980, Matano's top model, the Classe 1000, was priced at 100,000 yen, competing favorably with Masaru Kohno #20 from the same year. Until 1982, top Cervantes, La Esperanza, and Ecole models were also priced at 100,000 yen.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Asturias","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44602817675357,"sku":"rev-90791287","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/lshl0ysadodx1rtkhiod.jpg?v=1783880769"},{"product_id":"alhambra-10p-premier-concert-classical-guitar-solid-cedar-solid-irw-back-and-sides-made-in-spain","title":"Alhambra 10P Premier Concert Classical Guitar Solid Cedar, Solid IRW back and sides, Made in Spain","description":"\u003cp\u003eA gorgeous Alhambra Model 10P Premier Muro De Alcoy Concert Classical Guitar.

Produced at the same small workshop in Kurume, Japan, the team comprises approximately 10 highly skilled craftsmen, each capable of independently crafting a guitar. Since 1981, the workshop has been under the leadership of master luthier Wataru Tsuiji.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n The Kurume workshop's guitar-making journey began in 1962 as Meiko Gakki co., under the ownership of the legendary Japanese luthier Masaru Matano, known as \"the genius of sound.\" Matano earned this title before 1962 by enhancing the sound of numerous old violins, including renowned Stradivarius violins.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Initially, Meiko Gakki workshop focused on crafting classical guitars in limited numbers with a strong emphasis on quality. These guitars were initially sold under the Meiko Gakki label and signed by Matano. Around 1968, the labels were changed to \"Masaru Matano Constructor de Guitarras,\" and by 1974-1975, another series of guitars with unique design labels was introduced, indicating production in Fukuoka, Japan.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Beyond this, during the same period of 1974-1975, Matano, along with a group of associates, produced La Esperanza guitars under the label \"Ongaku Geijutsusha Co.\" Unlike Matano's guitars, La Esperanza guitars predominantly featured Spruce tops and Ramirez-style headstocks. While most of Matano's label guitars were not signed, many La Esperanza guitars had labels signed by their actual makers. The production of La Esperanza guitars continued until 1982, though in limited quantities.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Matano, like many luthiers, always worked with a team of highly skilled associates. Tatsuo Tanaka, his associate in the late 1960s, was the only one allowed to put his name on Meiko Gakki labels. The names of other associates, including Hiroumi Yamaguchi and Eichi Kodaira, remain unconfirmed, but they later joined the \"New\" Asturias team in 1980. In 1980, Rokkomann Co took over Matano's Kurume workshop, marking the birth of the \"New\" Asturias workshop. The details of this transition and Matano's disappearance in 1981 remain unclear.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Since 1981, Wataru Tsuji has led the Asturias workshop. In the same year, the \"New\" Asturias workshop implemented a serial number system on labels. The design, created in the mid-1970s, remained unchanged and was used on some of Matano's guitars.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Notably, associated luthiers such as Hiromi Yamaguchi, who established the \"Cervantes\" Concierto Guitarras brand in the early 1970s, and Eichi Kodaira, responsible for making AST models within the \"New\" Asturias team, played crucial roles. The narrative also highlights the continued success of Kodaira's workshop, operating with only three employees.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Guitars crafted by these Asturias-associated luthiers are highly regarded by international players for their quality, often considered the best in the mid-price range for classical concert guitars. It's essential to note that the pricing of guitars made by these artisans has consistently been moderate compared to similar-grade guitars by Masaru Kohno and other Japanese elite luthiers. Until 1980, Matano's top model, the Classe 1000, was priced at 100,000 yen, competing favorably with Masaru Kohno #20 from the same year. Until 1982, top Cervantes, La Esperanza, and Ecole models were also priced at 100,000 yen.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   Shipping\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   We pack items very carefully and ship with tracking number the next day after payment clears.\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   PLEASE NOTE that shipping times are not 100% guaranteed due to holidays, weather disruptions etc.\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   We cannot be responsible for local taxes and\/or duties.\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   RATES\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   USA:\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n UPS Ground, 5-7 days\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   US$\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n 100\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   Canada\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n : UPS Ground, 2-3 days\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   CA$\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n 100\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   EUROPE:\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   UPS or DHL Express will be about US$\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n 350\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   , 5-7 days (please enquire for a more accurate quote)\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   Return Policy.\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n We do not accept returns of used items.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n We do our best to make detailed descriptions and use high resolution pictures.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   Please study pictures and read the description carefully.

Produced at the same small workshop in Kurume, Japan, the team comprises approximately 10 highly skilled craftsmen, each capable of independently crafting a guitar. Since 1981, the workshop has been under the leadership of master luthier Wataru Tsuiji.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kurume workshop's guitar-making journey began in 1962 as Meiko Gakki co., under the ownership of the legendary Japanese luthier Masaru Matano, known as \"the genius of sound.\" Matano earned this title before 1962 by enhancing the sound of numerous old violins, including renowned Stradivarius violins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, Meiko Gakki workshop focused on crafting classical guitars in limited numbers with a strong emphasis on quality. These guitars were initially sold under the Meiko Gakki label and signed by Matano. Around 1968, the labels were changed to \"Masaru Matano Constructor de Guitarras,\" and by 1974-1975, another series of guitars with unique design labels was introduced, indicating production in Fukuoka, Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond this, during the same period of 1974-1975, Matano, along with a group of associates, produced La Esperanza guitars under the label \"Ongaku Geijutsusha Co.\" Unlike Matano's guitars, La Esperanza guitars predominantly featured Spruce tops and Ramirez-style headstocks. While most of Matano's label guitars were not signed, many La Esperanza guitars had labels signed by their actual makers. The production of La Esperanza guitars continued until 1982, though in limited quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatano, like many luthiers, always worked with a team of highly skilled associates. Tatsuo Tanaka, his associate in the late 1960s, was the only one allowed to put his name on Meiko Gakki labels. The names of other associates, including Hiroumi Yamaguchi and Eichi Kodaira, remain unconfirmed, but they later joined the \"New\" Asturias team in 1980. In 1980, Rokkomann Co took over Matano's Kurume workshop, marking the birth of the \"New\" Asturias workshop. The details of this transition and Matano's disappearance in 1981 remain unclear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1981, Wataru Tsuji has led the Asturias workshop. In the same year, the \"New\" Asturias workshop implemented a serial number system on labels. The design, created in the mid-1970s, remained unchanged and was used on some of Matano's guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotably, associated luthiers such as Hiromi Yamaguchi, who established the \"Cervantes\" Concierto Guitarras brand in the early 1970s, and Eichi Kodaira, responsible for making AST models within the \"New\" Asturias team, played crucial roles. The narrative also highlights the continued success of Kodaira's workshop, operating with only three employees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuitars crafted by these Asturias-associated luthiers are highly regarded by international players for their quality, often considered the best in the mid-price range for classical concert guitars. It's essential to note that the pricing of guitars made by these artisans has consistently been moderate compared to similar-grade guitars by Masaru Kohno and other Japanese elite luthiers. Until 1980, Matano's top model, the Classe 1000, was priced at 100,000 yen, competing favorably with Masaru Kohno #20 from the same year. Until 1982, top Cervantes, La Esperanza, and Ecole models were also priced at 100,000 yen.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kodaira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44602866368605,"sku":"rev-84426700","price":1475.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/lvc5mdrljluqmfc7ikip.jpg?v=1783884040"},{"product_id":"takamine-no-5-concert-classical-guitar-japan-2000s-near-mint","title":"Takamine No 5 Concert Classical Guitar Japan 2000s","description":"\u003cp\u003eTakamine No 5 Crafted in Japan in the 2000s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProbably the best value for money you can get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamaha's of the same class and quality are $1500+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe condition of this guitar is unbelievable considering it's 24 years old. \u003cbr\u003eIt's in near mint showroom condition, with just a few minor signs of use that can only be seen up close. \u003cbr\u003eThe white strips that you see on the back and sides are just reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar has been kept in a room with humidity set to 45% at 25 degrees (75F). \u003cbr\u003eThe action is medium low, comfortable to play. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar has a rich and balanced tone with beautiful nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has impressive volume and sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's ample amount of brightness and warmth in the low end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Specs. \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Top \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Solid Red Cedar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Back \/ Sides \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Indian Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Finish \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Polyurethane\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Neck \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Fingerboard \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Rosewood \u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Bridge \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Rosewood, Natural Bone Saddle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e String Length \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e 650 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Nut width \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e 52 \u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Action at 12 fret (1st): \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e 3.5 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Action at 12 fret (6th): \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e 3.6 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Comes with padded faux leather case \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Takamine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44602910933085,"sku":"rev-83882045","price":1175.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/huvdb11nhnocfuovixwp.jpg?v=1783885610"},{"product_id":"orpheus-valley-fiesta-f65s-2015-handmade-in-kremona-classical-guitar","title":"Orpheus Valley Fiesta F65S 2015 Handmade in Kremona Classical Guitar","description":"\u003cp\u003eHandmade in Bulgaria at Kremona Workshop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike new condition Sounds very sweet.

Produced at the same small workshop in Kurume, Japan, the team comprises approximately 10 highly skilled craftsmen, each capable of independently crafting a guitar. Since 1981, the workshop has been under the leadership of master luthier Wataru Tsuiji.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kurume workshop's guitar-making journey began in 1962 as Meiko Gakki co., under the ownership of the legendary Japanese luthier Masaru Matano, known as \"the genius of sound.\" Matano earned this title before 1962 by enhancing the sound of numerous old violins, including renowned Stradivarius violins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, Meiko Gakki workshop focused on crafting classical guitars in limited numbers with a strong emphasis on quality. These guitars were initially sold under the Meiko Gakki label and signed by Matano. Around 1968, the labels were changed to \"Masaru Matano Constructor de Guitarras,\" and by 1974-1975, another series of guitars with unique design labels was introduced, indicating production in Fukuoka, Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond this, during the same period of 1974-1975, Matano, along with a group of associates, produced La Esperanza guitars under the label \"Ongaku Geijutsusha Co.\" Unlike Matano's guitars, La Esperanza guitars predominantly featured Spruce tops and Ramirez-style headstocks. While most of Matano's label guitars were not signed, many La Esperanza guitars had labels signed by their actual makers. The production of La Esperanza guitars continued until 1982, though in limited quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatano, like many luthiers, always worked with a team of highly skilled associates. Tatsuo Tanaka, his associate in the late 1960s, was the only one allowed to put his name on Meiko Gakki labels. The names of other associates, including Hiroumi Yamaguchi and Eichi Kodaira, remain unconfirmed, but they later joined the \"New\" Asturias team in 1980. In 1980, Rokkomann Co took over Matano's Kurume workshop, marking the birth of the \"New\" Asturias workshop. The details of this transition and Matano's disappearance in 1981 remain unclear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1981, Wataru Tsuji has led the Asturias workshop. In the same year, the \"New\" Asturias workshop implemented a serial number system on labels. The design, created in the mid-1970s, remained unchanged and was used on some of Matano's guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotably, associated luthiers such as Hiromi Yamaguchi, who established the \"Cervantes\" Concierto Guitarras brand in the early 1970s, and Eichi Kodaira, responsible for making AST models within the \"New\" Asturias team, played crucial roles. The narrative also highlights the continued success of Kodaira's workshop, operating with only three employees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuitars crafted by these Asturias-associated luthiers are highly regarded by international players for their quality, often considered the best in the mid-price range for classical concert guitars. It's essential to note that the pricing of guitars made by these artisans has consistently been moderate compared to similar-grade guitars by Masaru Kohno and other Japanese elite luthiers. Until 1980, Matano's top model, the Classe 1000, was priced at 100,000 yen, competing favorably with Masaru Kohno #20 from the same year. Until 1982, top Cervantes, La Esperanza, and Ecole models were also priced at 100,000 yen.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Esperanza","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44602932527197,"sku":"rev-78409534","price":1995.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/ixm3cwdczpcfylwdpohz.jpg?v=1783886297"},{"product_id":"takamine-aranjuez-no-6-kohno-top-solid-cedar-1975-handmade-classical-guitar-japan-excellent","title":"Takamine Aranjuez No 6 Kohno Top Solid Cedar 1975 Handmade Classical Guitar Japan","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn incredible \u003cstrong\u003eTakamine Aranjuez No 6\u003c\/strong\u003e with Konho Top Luthier built in Japan in 1975\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brand \"Aranjuez\" was created in early 70's during the cooperation of the well-known luthier Juan Orozco with the famous luthier Masaru Kohno and the Takamine Company.

These skilled craftsmen typically ran small shops, employing a handful of master builders who were often trained in Spain or under Spanish master builders in Japan. During this period, bans on certain types of wood were not yet in place, allowing luthiers to source high-quality wood for their creations. Although these guitars are considered a bargain in today's market, finding top-quality Japanese classical guitars from this era can be challenging, and restrictions on exporting certain types of wood make them even more difficult to obtain. Similar guitars built with comparable materials today would cost significantly more due to the scarcity or complete bans on certain types of wood. Most of those talented luthiers from the 70s and 80s are now retired or have passed away. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yokoo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44614351421533,"sku":"rev-77380968","price":3245.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/uzqdwywn7eqtjo2c0jub.jpg?v=1783944052"},{"product_id":"cervantes-clase-600-handmade-concert-classical-guitar-japan-1983","title":"Cervantes Clase 600 Handmade Concert Classical Guitar Japan 1983","description":"\u003cp\u003eA beautiful Cervantes Clase 600 Hand-built in Japan in 1983 by Hiromi Yamaguchi at the Masaru Matano's workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore info on Matano guitars below the Specs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is a concert class instrument with amazing volume and sustain, excellent dynamic range, well balanced trebles and basses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe condition of this guitar is great considering it's 40 years old. \u003cbr\u003eThere's a few minor signs of use mainly at the front. \u003cbr\u003eThe white spots that you see on the back and sides are just reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar has been kept in a room with humidity set to 50% at 25 degrees (75F). \u003cbr\u003eThe neck is straight, action is medium low, comfortable to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's set up with D'Addario EJ46\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Specs. \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Top \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e High Grade \u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Solid Cedar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Bracing \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Fan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Back \/ Sides \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Indian Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Finish \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Polyurethane\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Neck \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Mahogany, Natural Bone Nut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Fingerboard \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Bridge \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Rosewood, Natural Bone Saddle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e String Length \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e 650 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Nut width \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e 52 \u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Action at 12 fret (1st): \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e 3.25 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Action at 12 fret (6th): \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e 3.5 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Comes with hard case \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cervantes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44614352896093,"sku":"rev-76789963","price":1095.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/un06frfl5ap3sgmbmiyi.jpg?v=1783944128"},{"product_id":"gallagher-handmade-nylon-string-cutaway-concert-guitar-built-in-piezo-eq-1990s-unbelievable","title":"Gallagher Handmade Nylon String Cutaway Concert Guitar, Built-in Piezo, EQ 1990s","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn incredibly rare find - handmade in Japan under Gallagher brand, Cutaway Nylon String Concert Guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt in in 1990s at the Terada Musical Instruments workshop (A division of Arai Trading Company, Japan).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBack then they held a permission from the Gallagher US to build under the Gallagher trade mark for the domestic market.

Around 1968, the labels were changed to \"Masaru Matano Constructor de Guitarras,\" and by 1974-1975, another series of guitars with unique design labels was introduced, indicating production in Fukuoka, Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond this, during the same period of 1974-1975, Matano, along with a group of associates, produced La Esperanza guitars under the label \"Ongaku Geijutsusha Co.\" Unlike Matano's guitars, La Esperanza guitars predominantly featured Spruce tops and Ramirez-style headstocks. While most of Matano's label guitars were not signed, many La Esperanza guitars had labels signed by their actual makers. The production of La Esperanza guitars continued until 1982, though in limited quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatano, like many luthiers, always worked with a team of highly skilled associates. Tatsuo Tanaka, his associate in the late 1960s, was the only one allowed to put his name on Meiko Gakki labels. The names of other associates, including Hiroumi Yamaguchi and Eichi Kodaira, remain unconfirmed, but they later joined the \"New\" Asturias team in 1980. In 1980, Rokkomann Co took over Matano's Kurume workshop, marking the birth of the \"New\" Asturias workshop. The details of this transition and Matano's disappearance in 1981 remain unclear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1981, Wataru Tsuji has led the Asturias workshop. In the same year, the \"New\" Asturias workshop implemented a serial number system on labels. The design, created in the mid-1970s, remained unchanged and was used on some of Matano's guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotably, associated luthiers such as Hiromi Yamaguchi, who established the \"Cervantes\" Concierto Guitarras brand in the early 1970s, and Eichi Kodaira, responsible for making AST models within the \"New\" Asturias team, played crucial roles. The narrative also highlights the continued success of Kodaira's workshop, operating with only three employees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuitars crafted by these Asturias-associated luthiers are highly regarded by international players for their quality, often considered the best in the mid-price range for classical concert guitars. It's essential to note that the pricing of guitars made by these artisans has consistently been moderate compared to similar-grade guitars by Masaru Kohno and other Japanese elite luthiers. Until 1980, Matano's top model, the Classe 1000, was priced at 100,000 yen, competing favorably with Masaru Kohno #20 from the same year. Until 1982, top Cervantes, La Esperanza, and Ecole models were also priced at 100,000 yen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eichi Kodaira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44614360563805,"sku":"rev-75667190","price":975.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6111\/1645\/files\/tvic5qv1poupisavyh79.jpg?v=1783944386"},{"product_id":"yamaha-gc-5-concert-classical-guitar-signed-by-ezaki-1980-solid-spruce-indian-rosewood","title":"Yamaha GC-5 Concert Classical Guitar Signed by Ezaki 1980 Solid Spruce, Indian Rosewood","description":"\u003cp\u003eYamaha GC-5 Signed by Hideyuki Ezaki 1980.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid Ezo Spruce Top, Solid Indian Rosewood Back and Sides\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar showcases Hideyuki Ezaki's exceptional craftsmanship.

He returned in 1971 and joined Yamaha's custom shop, working alongside Toshiro Kato and Hiroshi Harada. Initially, Hideyuki Ezaki produced a limited number of midrange Yamaha models. He was also a member of Yamaha's design group, contributing to various innovations that improved the tonal properties of Yamaha guitars. From 1975 to 1982, Hideyuki specialized in crafting Yamaha's top of the line model, GC30B. After Toshihiro Kato's departure in the late 1980s, Hideyuki became the head of Yamaha's Custom Shop until his retirement in 2007. Even after retiring, he continued his craft in his own workshop. His guitars range in price, with the least expensive models starting at 600,000 yen, approximately $6,000 in the US market.
