Matano Masaru Clase500 (1976) (no250503) Top: Cedar veneer Side & Back: Rosewood Neck: Mahogany Fingerboard: Rosewood Bridge: Rosewood Peg: Classic type Scale: Approx. 650mm Nut width: approx. 52mm String height 12th fret: 6th string 4.5mm / 1st string 3.0mm Weight: Approx. 1.5kg Case: Hard shell case 1976s Clase 500 by Masaru Matano, a rare master craftsman who was involved in the creation of Asturias Guitar. Although it was a middle class product at the time, it has a well-balanced volume from bass to treble, just like a masterpiece. The cedar veneer top and rosewood produce a crisp yet deep sound. Mr. Matano wanted to follow in the same footsteps as the Stradivarius, and was highly skilled, but it is a shame that he stopped producing it by around 1980. There are scratches and small dents throughout. There are hairline cracks and dent repair marks on the 1st string side of the top. Hairline cracks do not have any internal cracks and can be used without any problems in terms of strength as they are connected to the lining. The neck is almost straight, and there are about 80% of the frets left. The current string height is a little high, but there is an OK margin for cutting the saddle, so you can adjust it to your liking. The hardware of the hard shell case is broken in one place, but the construction is solid. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- The description is as detailed as possible, Due to the nature of the product, notation of all states may be difficult.
