Thank you for looking.
Please also view my other listings for classical guitar.I am also listing the 2011 Sakurai Model P.C. (Brazilian or CSA rosewood backs and sides). Whichever is sold first, I'll keep the other.This listing is for the 2012 Sakurai P.C.R (Indian rosewood back and sides)
The CSA rosewood version of this 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 Sakurai is in absolutely mint condition.
I have been its only owner.
It has no scratches and no dings anywhere.
There are no repairs and no cracks.Since this guitar sounds so similar to the 2011 Sakurai P.C. which I am also listing here on Ebay, I'd just use the same description for both guitars.
The only difference is that the 2011 P.C. sounds a little darker than this one.This guitar has a lovely sound, excellent balance and sustain.
The beautiful sounding bass is defined, deep, and warm;
the treble is very sweet and 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.This guitar has spruce top, 650mm scale length, 51mm nut width.
This guitar has very soft action and, thus, is extremely easy to play.
The action at the 12th fret is 2.5mm for the first string and 3.5mm for the 6th string.
The action on this guitar is quite low.
