A rare a beautiful Concert Classical Guitar Handmade by Yukinobu Chai in 1982, Model No 12.
Masary Kohno level of craftsmanship. Near mint condition, unbelievable for a 43 year old instrument.

Finest tone woods used to built it.
The tone of this guitar is rich and beautiful with good volume.
Very good balance of frequencies and impressive sustain.
Fast neck, easy to play.
