This is a Shinano classical guitar that was found while organizing my parents' home. It has been stored in its original dedicated case.
This is a Grand Shinano GS150 from **Shinano Musical Instrument (信濃楽器)**, a company that manufactured high-quality instruments in Nagano Prefecture around the 1970s.
It appears to have been purchased at the department store **DAIMARU (大丸)** at the time, and the DAIMARU sticker from that era remains beautifully on the body.
[About the Condition]
• Storage Condition: This item has been stored in its box for a long time. There are minor scratches and dirt due to age and use. I have intentionally not cleaned it, and will be selling it in its original condition.
• One string is missing. Also, the remaining strings are very old, so please replace them before use.
• I do not have specialized knowledge, so I have not confirmed the detailed condition of the neck or the sound quality. Visually, there are no major scratches or cracks, and it seems like it can still be used, but it will be sold as-is. Please consider it with maintenance in mind.
[About Shipping]
I plan to ship it in its original outer case, covered with plastic. The case itself is also old, so please consider it as protective material for transport and as part of a collection.
I hope you will maintain this rare Japan Vintage sound and bring it back to life.
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
