I bought this in a sorry state after years of neglect and spent lots of time and care into making it a fine sounding and fine playing guitar. The neck has been reset, the bridge renewed and saddle slot routed to give really good intonation all the way up the fretboard. Ebony heelcap made. Endpin was already reamed out for pickup. No pickup fitted. New period style tuners fitted to replace the broken ones. They work really well.
Kiso Suzuki Acoustic Guitar Model 9582. 1970s Japanese made beauty.
I bought this guitar as a project as the tone sucking adjustable bridge and saddle was hanging off.
I have made a new ebony bridge and fitted a bone saddle which has improved the tone immensely.
I would say this is a 000 size guitar with spruce top and potentially mahogany back and sides. As is usual in this era I believe at least the back and sides are laminate but if you do your research the factories used laminates of the same tonewood to achieve robust sound and longevity of the instruments. I have removed, cleaned, lubricated and refitted the tuners and they now work a treat.
I have replaced the original peeling pickguard with a new one and this suits the guitar well.
Plenty of light scratches and marks as to be expected and there is a bit of finish damage to the top by the pickguard. This is not structural and is not cracking
The neck is nice and slim and action is really nice. Still saddle left for future adjustments. Lovely tone and easy to play. https://imgur.com/a/Aeknp03 £350
I am happy to ship these guitars at buyers cost
