Shunpei Nishino No.5 Vintage Solid Brazilian Rosewood Rare! MIJ 1970
Check out the Brazilian on this one, wow! All solid woods! This guitar sounds great, as only aged Braz and cedar can. Nishino was a master builder, known for his fine handmade guitars, and this is the earliest and most attractive one I have seen. Currently setup for low action, see measurements below. Sorry, no export!
The guitar is in nice condition with a very tight top crack in the top being the most noticeable flaw. There are some scratches on the side of the fingerboard where it looks like someone likely removed fret markers. There is also some minor wear on the fingerboard in the first few frets, see pictures for condition.

Scale Length: 650mm
Nut Width: 51mm
