Don bought this guitar when he was in the Navy and stationed (for a bit) in Japan. He bought this rosewood/cedar classical in Japan and played it for many years. It was built in 1965 and has a serial number of 36. The Tamura brothers are well known and respected guitar makers, but they may both be dead by now, I don't know. He thinks it's Brazilian rosewood but it looks like Indian Rosewood to me. It's 53 years old and has been taken care of but it's hardly new and not without dings, scratches and evidence of years of play and travel. I took these photos tonight while it was being cleaned before being restrung. It has normal dings and wear but for a 53 year old girl, I think it's pretty decent. Sounds really great, although I'm no great judge of classical/flamenco guitars. Case is original and because it's from the "Hippy Era" has been customized with a Navaho type blanket over the top, but it is the original case and none of the latches work.
Where do I find out what's a reasonable price to ask for this guitar? It doesn't get played and he doesn't want it any more but we have no idea what's a fair price to ask. So, I ask you my friends...... how does one get a guitar like this valued?
