Vintage and modern guitars brought to you by {name}

Metin Levi

Kiso Suzuki Violin Co. No. 10 - made in Japan in the '50s or '60s (1960 is an estimate).

Here's what the Japanese label means approximately:
手工品 = Handmade
木曽= Kiso
拾号= Number 10
鈴木バイオリン社= Suzuki Violin Co.

Please note that the translation above is an approximation. There is little information on these guitars, so there may be inaccuracies in the description. 

I estimate this guitar was made in the late '50s or early '60s, judging from the Japanese label which may mean that these guitars were not made to be exported, while later ('60s and '70s) Kiso Suzuki Violin Co. had different labels that weren't written in Japanese. The label also has a serial number stamped: 212102. Still, it's unknown how these guitars were numbered as I believe they were made early in the history of Kiso Suzuki Violin Co.

Check the demo video I recorded playing the guitar: https://youtu.be/FzD5ss4yKcg

The guitar has high action, however it is playable and comfortable, with a balanced sound. There is very little room to lower the saddle, so if you expect low or medium action, this guitar is not for you. However, I find the guitar comfortable as is as you can see and hear in the video. 

Please check the photos and the videos carefully, they are the best way to understand the guitar's condition & sound.

This guitar is probably around 60 years old, so adjust your expectations accordingly. It has scratches, blemishes and imperfections. It will feel different compared to a new instrument. It is playable but it has not been professionally setup, so there may be things that can be done to improve its playability. I'd suggest it to people who have some experience with vintage guitars and are willing to make adjustments down the line, or who can embrace the imperfections in exchange for a special sound and vibe.
