[Description]
Kiyohide Shoji's (2004) classic model spruce/indian rosewood 632mm short scale, production number 227, is now in stock. This model has an excellent balance of sound in your hand, and you can enjoy its calm and simple sound. The brightness is well controlled, and the soft sound image is also suitable for Japanese people.
The entire piece is finished in shellac. There is no major repair history such as cracks or modifications. There are some scratches on the side of the fingerboard and around the sound hole, as well as one string chipping on the underside of the bridge of the first string.
