This is a used "Cat's Eyes" guitar manufactured by Tokai Musical Instruments (Tokai) in the late 1970s to early 1980s. The neck block is stamped with "CF Martin & Co. Japanese Counterpart," making it a popular Japanese vintage model that inherits the Martin style of the time. Its meticulous craftsmanship and rich tone are its main attractions, and it continues to be highly regarded by many guitar enthusiasts today. Regarding its condition, there is no history of repairs since its arrival. Overall, there are signs of use due to age, such as scratches, dents, and tarnishing of metal parts, but there are currently no problems with playability. There are slight marks from pressing the strings on the lower frets of the 1st and 2nd strings, but there are no buzzing sounds. Additionally, there is a noticeable difference in paint level between the binding and the body, but no peeling is observed. The string height has been adjusted to a comfortable playing height, so the playability is excellent! We hope you will experience the unique sound that only Japanese vintage instruments can offer. The top is made of solid spruce, the sides and back are made of solid rosewood, the neck is mahogany, and the fingerboard and bridge are made of ebony.
