A 1977 Hirade (Takamine) Master Arte Model 8 classical guitar. Handcrafted in Japan, it’s in beautiful shape- it hardly looks like it’s been played at all despite its age. Plays smooth and easy, sounds incredible. I like to play nylon string but not classical style. This nearly-50-year-old beauty belongs with a real player. Comes with what must be the original case, also in nice shape.
