1970s Japanese charm from guitar manufacturer, Maruha!
Dating to 1973 based off what appears to be a date code stamped on the inside heel, this example was manufactured by Maruha Gakki who also operated under a few different models and aliases over the years. Featuring a soft V neck profile, this example feels exceptional to play and delivers a nice full tone with plenty of low end and mid range bite. The bridge has been shaved down in the past, and there is a small amount of bridge lift present however appears to be stable and functional. At the base of the guitar there is an indentation and minor separation, however appears to be stable at this stage.
Cosmetic condition is okay for its age, with some dings and wear present throughout. Hardware is fully functional, and plays with a low-medium action. Includes a gig bag.
