Top of the line Concert level Classical Guitar with Brazilian Rosewood Back and Sides.
This guitar was built in 1999 by Yukio Nakade, the youngest son of the world-renowned Sakazo Nakade, widely regarded as the “Father of Modern Japanese Luthiery.” Information about Sakazo’s influential career and legacy is well documented and easily accessible online.
All three of Sakazo’s sons followed in their father’s footsteps and became luthiers themselves. Among them, Toshihiko Nakade achieved a level of recognition comparable to his father’s elite status. While Toshihiko was able to command prices similar to those of Sakazo Nakade and Masaru Kohno, his brothers Teruaki and Yukio often sold their instruments at considerably lower prices despite producing guitars of equally exceptional quality.
