1979 Japanese Handmade Hakusui Imai Classical Guitar w/ BrandNew HardCase Mint!!

Up for sale is a beautiful sounding and looking vintage classical guitar made by Japanese luthier Hakusui Imai in 1979 in near mint condition. Imai guitars made by Hakusui have the similar value and reputation as Kohno guitars made in that period, because Hakusui only made limited number of guitars and he worked alone without any technician help. Sound wise, Imai guitars sound similar to Kohno with sweeter tones and piano like sound. But its volume is not very loud compared to the Spanish made guitars. This guitar looks like it has been taken good care of by the previous owner and not being played that much.
Full Disclosure

The service include a re-set of the neck to low down the action height plus set up of a new bone saddle, surface marks and scratches touch-ups and cleaning.
