AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Super cool Nardan classical guitar model No. 12.

Probably made in 1965 (1965 is Showa year 40. Estimated from the serial number inside: 40.8.)

Check the video I recorded playing the guitar: https://youtu.be/HcLMpl6ugmM

The guitar is playable and it has medium tension nylon strings. The guitar has a round, full, warm sound great for both Folk and Classical music. The tuners are worn and a bit squeaky when turned, but they work.

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 hasn't been professionally setup, so surely there are 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.
