Saburo Nogami / Concert Classical 1a / 1980's / Guitar
Saburo Nogami Concert Classical, 1a, Rosewood-Spruce, Shellac, OHC, EC
This is a Ca. 35 year old Saburo Nogami Concert quality classical guitar, that is surprising in many ways, Japanese handmade stamped & signed on the label S. Nogami. The label reads prodeced by Zen-On Music Co. model. TD-D. Featuring solid rosewood back and sides, solid spruce, nitrocellulose finish on back, sides and neck, shellac finish on top, ebony fingerboard, mahogany neck, rosewood lacquered rosewood bridge, styled after the small Torres Model. Impressive sound and separation, crisp bass response, strong mids and clear trebles, a very fine matured character, with great headroom, also when played staccato. It definitely reminds of the high Kohno quality but is to my knowledge not related in any way. From a Japanese advertising we learn they are appreciated highly in Japan and despite we only found one, it was paired by a Masurai Kohno that was priced on a similar level. The guitar is excellent to excellent+ condition, with very little wear on top, back and sides, it plays effortlessly, and with great ease, Features a 53mm nut width and 650mm scale length. This guitar is a tip for accomplished player that isn't able to spend 5000 euro on a high end concert Classical. The guitar is trade by the first owner who paid approx. 1500 Dutch guilders for it back in the 1970s. Includes the original case and case candy.

The Fellowship Of Acoustics, Netherlands
ABOUT US
I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
