Metoro - No. 200 - - Classical guitar - Japan - 1950

Extra rare and beautiful Metoro Guitar No. 200 - Made in Japan probably in the '50s (1950 is an estimate).

Here's what the label says:
Metoro

Metoro Guitar
Sales Agent Nagoya Gakki
Nagoya Japan
No. 200

Here's a video I recorded playing the guitar: https://youtu.be/9ZaLyT2rYMk

The guitar has a warm, rich, old-school sound. Great for Folk, Blues but also Classical music. It has medium tension nylon strings. The guitar has quite a bit of cosmetic wear and imperfections that give it a lot of mojo. The open strings produce a slight buzzing that I demonstrated in the video. Ball end nylon strings are suggested as they may reduce it.

This guitar is around 70 years old, it has imperfections, so adjust your expectations accordingly. It will feel different compared to a new instrument.

Check the photos and the videos, they are the best way to understand the guitar's condition and sound. 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.
