[Profile]
Sakazo Nakade was born in Matsuzaka, Mie in 1906. He learned guitar making at Kinpachi Miyamoto's workshop. In 1929, when Andres Segovia visited Japan for the first time, he had an opportunity to measure the guitar Segovia was using, and started making guitars in earnest. He continued making guitars even though he moved from place to place due to World War II, and at his peak, he became a supporter of the guitar making industry in Japan. It is still a popular item on the second-hand market, and in recent years there has been an increase in demand overseas as well.

[Description]
This is a 1981 No.5000 model by Sakazo Nakade, which is a so-called 'Fleta model'. The head shape shows the characteristics of this model, and the internal construction is almost identical to the original.
Brazilian rosewood (Jacaranda) is used for the back and sides, and the appearance is majestic, while the calm tone has a pleasant sound characteristic of this brand. There are two cracks on the back, but they have been repaired properly. Although this guitar is 40 years old, there are not many scratches. The frets are a little worn, but there are no problems with playability.
