NAGOYA SUZUKI MODEL SD 340CE ELECTRO ACOUSTIC GUITAR - VERY RARE
This is a very rare Guitar indeed - an Electro Acoustic Cut Away Model, from a well respected Manufacturer (Nagoya Suzuki), which is in excellent overall used condition.
I have been unable to find another similar guitar on sale anywhere on the Internet, or indeed unfortunately, any significant information on this specific Model. All I can confirm that it was built pre 1989 (as Suzuki ceased guitar production then). Serial Number (X90073915) on Internal label has faded slightly & unable to determine pre fix Letter - possibly a 'C'..?; hence, not the easiest to read/ dispher - pls. refer to Listing Photo # 6.
The Neck profile is thin (similar to an Electric guitar), hence is very comfortable to play & would make an easy transition for an electric guitar player.
The guitar has been Refurbished, Serviced & Upgraded (incl. new Bone Nut, Compensated Bone Saddle, upgraded Under Saddle Transducer Pickup & New Strings); additionally, Frets were Polished, Fret board cleaned & oiled etc., plus a full Set up.
The original Pre Amp is fully functional & sounds good for a basic unit.
There is minimal visible Fretware & Neck & rest of body are in great shape; however there are a few small minor cosmetic blemishes - as to be expected, with a 30+ year old instruement.
The original white paintwork has faded / 'yellowed' - commensurate with age & in common with all white guitars..!.
Guitar plays well & sounds very good - especially when played thru a suitable Acoustic Amplifier.
