Don't get this mixed up with the cheaper ones. 

Brass string through ferrules. 

Bone nut.

Rounded fret ends.

Vintage Japanese craftsmanship.  

Arbor only functioned for 3 years in Japan. They were sued by Gibson and were forced to Korea after that 3 years.  Then sincecearly 2000's everything is from China.  

This is a real Japanese Arbor. And there is a reason why Gibson etc sued them.  

This guitar is great functional condition.  A tuning fork of vibrant sound as everything is well thought out:

There is a crack in the body where the neck meets the heel but it does not go beyond the finish.  See the last pic, you can't see a crack.

I could not mention the fretboard wood as it is endangered.  Ebay rules now limit certain wood names but it only applies to recent rules so it's legal.  This is a VINTAGE used guitar.  It's the good stuff.  Like glass.
