Thank you for looking.
Please also view my other listings for classical guitar.I also have a 2012 Sakurai Model P.C.R (Indian rosewood back and sides).
If you are interested in the 2012 Sakurai, please let me know.

This listing is for the 2011 Sakurai P.C.
This exact model is currently listed for $9500 at Guitar Salon International.
The P.C. model is the reproduction of the P.C. (Paris Competition) instrument for which Masaki Sakurai was awarded the first prize at the 1988 Paris international guitar making competition.This guitar has a lovely sound, excellent balance and sustain.
The bass is very deep and warm; the treble is sweet and thick but clear.
This Sakurai has a "cello-like" bass sound.
And the first string remains sweet even when played at the highest register.
You will not be disappointed with the sound of this guitar.I have decided to sell this one and keep the Sakurai P.C.R because I know that I can get more money for this one than the Indian rosewood model. The two guitars have very similar sound. They both have a body air resonance around F#. Perhaps of the Brazilian (or Central South American) rosewood back, the P.C. sounds a little darker than the P.C.R.Except for two small string dings (one can be seen in the photos; the other can only be seen in person at a certain angle) right behind the tie-block, this instrument is in near mint condition.This guitar has very soft action and, thus, is extremely easy to play.
The action low  at the 12th fret is 2.5mm for the first string and 3.4mm for the 6th string.
The action on this guitar is quite low and very soft.
It is already at the optimum height.
The playability is so very excellent.This guitar has spruce top, 650mm scale length, 51mm nut width.
The wood on the back and sides looks like Brazilian rosewood.
But it could be CSA rosewood.There are no cracks and no repairs on this guitar.
The finish is cashew which is derived from the cashew nut oil and is as organic as shellac.
The high end tuning machines has real mother-of-pearl buttons and gold plated plates.
It comes with the original light flight case.Please contact me if you have any question.
