Made in Japan guitar details
Hi,
I purchased this ‘made in Japan’ guitar and I would like to find out more info about it. There are Japanese characters but I can’t tell who makes it or about when it was made. It sounds very rich and full and I think it’s a concert type guitar. I will attach some photos. https://ibb.co/Wz6m0vv https://ibb.co/Wz6m0vv https://ibb.co/nD8h5n4 https://ibb.co/71qTXY0 https://ibb.co/VHJ1pX8 https://ibb.co/n0Sk0tQ https://ibb.co/w6brk6L Last edited by Dspirito; 04-12-2023 at 08:43 AM.

Hiya there
sometimes on "made in japan" guitars from that era, that were made for Asian market (not western market) they will have an Emperor Date stamp on the inside of one of the lower bouts..easy to decipher date if that is the case. use an inspection mirror and check for the emperor date stamp or any other markings on the inside on underside of top/heel etc etc. additionally. occasionally the machine heads will reveal information once removed (on the underside of them) but dont attempt that unless you are very skilled at how to remove and put them back, if not done properly the machine heads will NOT work again. it looks like a nice zebrawood back from the pics. good luck

If you post a clear photo of the label over at Delcamp in the "We Who Love Japanese Guitars" thread you might he help from one of the Japanese members to identify the guitar.
