Kiso Suzuki Violin - No. 3 - - Acoustic guitar - Japan - 1966

Here's an extremely rare Kiso Suzuki Violin guitar: model No. 3 from 1966, in a beautiful sunburst. Check the video I recorded playing this guitar: https://youtu.be/_n5gZjJpmsA The guitar is fun and playable. It has an old-school, nostalgic sound. The string height is a bit high but since it's a small size guitar, it's still comfortable to play. I put on new 0.11 Silk&Steel Strings, they feel soft and give it a warm sound. However, it could sound good with regular steel strings as well (0.10 or even 0.09, the small body doesn't need big strings to sound good). Check the photos and the video in detail, they are the best way to understand the guitar's condition and 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 fresh out of the factory (which is why I love it!). It's perfect for people who have some experience with vintage guitars and can make adjustments down the line, or who can embrace the imperfections in exchange for a unique sound and vibe. This model is very hard to find, in fact I've never seen another Kiso Suzuki Violin guitar like this one. Magical sound and plenty of mojo here. It has scratches and blemishes, but overall it's in nice condition considering its age.
