1977 T-Haruo T-30 (Lawsuit Martin D-35 Copy, Herringbone, HSC)

A really nice example of what type of acoustic guitars were coming out of the Terada factory in Japan in the mid-late ’70s, this particular builder is one of the lesser-known but highly regarded brands. The T-30 is modelled in the style of a Martin D-28/D-35 with a mix of appointments (herringbone trim, snowflake inlays, 3 piece Rosewood back) and features a dynamic solid Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back and sides, and a chocolatey Rosewood fingerboard complete with binding. A non-functioning, period piezo pickup is fitted to the guitar, and it has had a full setup including a new Graphtech saddle, fret level and polish, and neck adjustment. Includes period HSC.
