I am offering this wonderful vintage nylon string classical guitar for a fair and affordable price so that the buyer can enjoy the pleasure of playing it as much as I have. This 1976 Sakurai, Model No.5 has been well played and well-traveled. It was purchased “used” in 1988 in almost the same condition as it is in now, complete with the ding on the front (see pictures)and a small ding in the finish on the back of the neck. This guitar is no pristine closet queen. There are signs of use on this 40 plus year old beauty. There are some scratches on the front as well as the aforementioned ding. Otherwise the guitar is structurally sound, all glue joints are tight and the neck has never been re-set.
The set-up is excellent, it plays even better and the sound is classic Sakurai, good volume and projection with a great warm tone. The guitar is built with typical Sakurai construction of cedar top, rosewood back and sides and mahogany neck with ebony fretboard. Nut width is 52mm, string spacing at the bridge is 58mm and the scale length is 660mm. Restrung with a fresh set of D’Addario Pro-Arte EJ45 strings and a spare set is with the guitar. Original hard case is included which also shows some signs of wear.
Contact me with any additional questions before purchasing. This sale is final and no refunds will be offered as the true condition of the item has been fully disclosed. Standard shipping to the lower 48 states is included in the selling price.
Set-up at 12th fret:
Bass E string height – 3.5mm
Treble E string height – 2.5mm
