[Profile]
Masaji Nobe was born in 1935. Nobe Guitar Workshop was started by his father, a Tokyo-based cabinetmaker, who repaired guitars.
Masaji Nobe became independent in 1965 and started his own workshop. As a family that is descended from Edo-style craftsmen, Nobe Guitar workshop is characterized by its selection of high-quality wood, high craftsmanship, sense of design, and tasteful finish of the exterior.
The tone of the guitar is just as rich as its appearance, and while it is based on the Spanish guitar, it is distinctly different from the more glamorous guitars, and has an unmistakable character with the dignity of smoked silver.

[Description]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of an old Masaji Nobe 1968. This is a high-spec model of the brand at that time, made of high quality Central and South American rosewood on the back and sides. The head shape is reminiscent of Marcelo Barbero, and the overall appearance of the guitar looks like an antique furniture, which is also unique to Nobe Guitar.
There are some scratches, dents, and scratches on the entire surface. There is also a few centimeters of crack repaired near the bridge, but it has been properly repaired.
