It is highly regarded for its warm, mellow and resonance heavy sound. Because these guitars were made in Japan (we believe the Matsumoto factory) they are highly regarded instruments, punching much higher in sound quality considering their price tag.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCosmetic\u003c\/strong\u003e: There are clear marks across the whole guitar. These have been caused from being store in a damp place causing the finish to be damaged at certain points where there were knots in the wood grain.
