*************************************************************************

If you are thinking about a purchase of a used vintage guitar you need to accept the fact that such guitars may have cosmetic flaws solely associated with their age, but not related to any particular damage. For example their finishes change their look over the years and are not glossy and crystal clear like on brand new guitar. In addition, such guitars may require fret dressing, new tuners, string action adjustment or a simple repair before they can be fully enjoyed. I see guitars as musical instruments, not as furniture. When I describe guitar as being in excellent condition I don't talk only about its cosmetics but mostly about its structural & functional condition, sound and playability. If you are seeking a perfect looking, low maintenance guitar you should abandon a thought about buying used vintage one, especially from me.

Hiroshi Tamura Flamenco guitar class 100 made in 1977

Hiroshi and Mitsuru Tamura, since early 1960s, were making superb quality flamenco guitars that easily challenge guitars made by the most famous Spanish luthiers. Just like many other Japanese luthiers, Tamura brothers have learned their craft during their stay in Spain in late 1950s.

Although Hiroshi Tamura was making exceptional quality classical guitars, it is his flamenco guitars that especially treasured by professional players around the world. Hiroshi Tamura since late 1960s on some of his labels was using his “westernized” name “Tomy”.  Because his flamenco guitars often sound much better than guitars made by Jose Ramirez workshop, Hiroshi received a nickname “Tamirez”. On Japanese second hand market H.Tamura flamenco guitars are priced much higher than his classical models.  

This particular guitar was made in 1977 and remains excellent cosmetic and in perfect working condition. It has only few super-minor marks on its body, none of which is visible at first glance. Some checking within the finish (Cashew lacquer) visible on the pictures is in fact practically not visible in nature. The condition of the wood and original finish is really impressive.

This guitar plays easy and sounds fantastic. It has traditional raspy flamenco sound and very impressive volume, with deep booming basses and clear ringing trebles, but relatively short sustain. It is super light and very responsive.                 

This guitar has perfect neck. Its action is set to 2.20 mm under E6 and 2.00 mm under E1. This is absolutely perfectly made flamenco guitar.
