AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very rare Uni Tone Guitar No. 351 - made in Japan, probably in the 60s or even earlier.

Check the demo video I recorded playing the guitar: https://youtu.be/TiZGg4qLcFA

This guitar sounds warm and nostalgic, it has that 'old guitar' sound. It is perfect for some lonely strumming or for some gentle Folk fingerpicking. If you are looking for a 'vintage' Folk or Country sound that sounds authentically 'old' and lo-fi, this is the guitar.

The guitar is playable but the string height is higher than normal. However, with nylon strings it is not too hard to play. If you plan to play anything too technical or fast or if you expect low action, this guitar is not for you.

I put new normal tension nylon strings. This guitar has been played over the years and it shows. It has scratches, blemishes and imperfections. It has some adhesive residue in the back of the neck and in the fingerboard, it doesn't affect the playability and it should go away if cleaned thoroughly. Please check the photos and the videos carefully, they are the best way to understand the guitar's condition & sound.

This guitar is not perfect, it is around 60 years old so adjust your expectations accordingly. It will not feel like a brand new instrument. I’d suggest it to people who have some experience with vintage guitars and are willing to make adjustments down the line, or people who can embrace the imperfections in exchange for a special sound and vibe.
