Vintage Acoustic Guitar

I hate to sell this fine instrument. I had been looking for one in this condition for quite some time after I had heard my first high-end Suzuki, which these are mostly undiscovered gems(though becoming less so with the internet). I am selling because of a situation where I was scammed for a vintage amp and in order to buy said amp, I had to sell a very treasured effects pedal. Lost the pedal, lost the money to buy the amp in the scam and no amp to boot. I recently found another pedal of same vintage and stock, and the wife has given the go ahead to buy it with the caveat: In order to buy I must sell something else.

In this economy, I don`t think many are in the position to just buy and buy and buy. To buy something, need to sell something, and so on. But,... I only buy the best. So,....you only get the best when that sad time comes to sell...

This is a 1976 Suzuki W-300(serial #760519) with the all original "Three S" written in green script on the tuners and made in Japan by Nagoya Suzuki during the golden years of japanese guitar making.

This was at the high-end of japanese acoustics during the 1970`s("300" meant 300,000 yen to buy at that time). Easy low action, great sound and projection for strumming chords and fingerstyle. It is a a very ornate instrument; wonderful block inlays down the fretboard that have an incredible green-gold hue, and green tortoise-figured inlay framing the instrument all around with the aged binding that has evolved to a very nice golden patina.

I have had many 1970`s made-in-Japan acoustics from this line, Yamaha, and Yairi, as well as a D2H Collings. This was a favorite because of the sound and the looks, and why it was kept while the others went there way.

Minor cosmetic issues are that this has had a headstock repair in its history, and a previous owner had etched his name---Gary--- into the top of the guitar. It is a very light etch, not easy to see in certain lights and from a distance, but it is there. Neither affects playability, sound or functionality. Even the beauty of this guitar is unaffected by both issues.

There are a few minor dings(there is a small chip in the heel, see pic) and some light scratches, and one of the white bridge pins heads has a silver/white cap and the others are black capped(never noticed this until recently---all pins are the same type and color otherwise). No bows, warps, buzzes, etc. Recently installed some Pyramid PB mediums...very nice strings.

This will come with a new, non-original chip board guitar case, and will be packaged carefully.

I only buy the best gear, I only sell the best gear. Check my feedback and bid with confidence!
