[Comment from the person in charge: Hoshino]
The sound quality is so good that you realize just how much care has been taken in repairing it. The wide range and the way the sound spreads give it a different kind of charm compared to other D-28s.
This is a special guitar that retains the specifications of the mid-1960s.
