Description
CBS Masterworks acoustic guitar Made in Japan, 1970’s. Here’s an unusual one. It is 3/4 parlour guita in size. It has a beautiful rich tone and is well made. says “Made in Japan”. This ties-in with the fact that Kazuo Yairi made the CBS guitars for Fender in Japan.. A bit of history: Leo Fender sold his company to CBS Broacasting Co in 1965. CBS Masterworks guitars were made by Fender in Japan before they revealed that they were making an overseas product. Most of this went on in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Few were made. They were made to a high standard and are pretty rare today. Fender went on to produce their “F” series guitars in the same factory. Kazuo Yairi got involved because he worked for Guild, which was acquired by Fender. New strings have been fitted and the instrument has been luthier checked.
