Tomson D-38
A killer vintage Japanese acoustic from Tomson!
Coming out of the Kiso Suzuki factory in the 70's were the quality was superb as were the Luthiers that worked there. The Suzuki Violin company was established in 1887 however they didn't start building guitars until the early 50's. It frustrates us when people describe these old acoustic's as 'cheap' and 'poor imitations'. This is frankly unfair and not at all true. These guitars are extremely well put together by craftsmen that had been making musical instruments for decades! And oh man do they sound and play lovely, especially when they've existed for such a long time and seen there fair share of playing!
Spec:
- Spruce Laminate top
- Mahogany sides
- Mahogany/Maple/Mahogany back (all laminate but very pretty)
