Hirade is Takamine's premium line of classical guitars, originally designed by master luthier Mass Hirade. These guitars are constructed of the finest tonewoods and handmade in Sakashita, Japan.The Hirade H5 has dark robust bass, warm trebles, immaculate fretwork and slender easy-to-play neck are hallmarks of this model. The H5 features a solid cedar top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, solid mahogany neck, inlaid marquetry rosette, bone nut and saddle, ebony fingerboard and gold plated deluxe Gotoh tuning heads. The H5 series is braced lighter than the H8SS and TH90, resulting in less string resistance (easier on fingers). There are swirls of light scratches around the sound hole, nothing in the finish. It is hard to notice, can be seen only in a certain angle.This guitar is very nice in very good condition, it sounds wonderfully and looks beautifully. It is easy to play. There are no cracks. There are some very light scratches and fingernail marks. The guitar serial number is 90072405I was told the first 2 digits is the year, the next two is the month, and the next two is the day. Also, the takamines H-5 made in 1990 are the best ones.If I was told correctly, this guitar was made in July 1990. This guitar has a wonderful sound.Note: The auction includes the case in the last picture, not the one shown in other pictures.Thanks for bidding!
