A 1970s Terada-branded square-shouldered acoustic guitar, made in Japan circa 1970s.

 

A nice and lightweight acoustic, made at the Terada plant (who were responsible for producing some of the famed post-USA Japanese-built Epiphone Casinos, etc).

 

Dating from the 'Lawsuit' period, in which far-Eastern builders had a lot more free reign in replicating the designs of their American counterparts, with this guitar clearly being modelled on a contemporary Hummingbird.

 

In decent condition, all original save for the string pins which are decent modern repros.

 

Sunburst finish, set neck and a real dark rosewood fingerboard - interestingly featuring a 'zero' fret.

 

Plays well with a comfortable low action, currently set up with light gauge strings, though would easily take a heavier set. Saddle in good condition with room to go a little lower, should you with.

 

Frets have some wear though appear to have not been worked on and have plenty of lift left in them.

 

One repaired dings to the side (pictured), structurally sound and free of any neck break or anything untoward, save for some minor dings and lacquer checking throughout.

 

As above, it's a nice lightweight acoustic that punches above its weight. Features a nice dark, real rosewood fingerboard and dark rosewood oversized bridge.
