Ecole E300 Classical Concert Guitar
This is a wonderful Classical Concert Guitar by the master luthier Eichi Kodaira. Made in Japan in the early 1970s.
This was a luxurious guitar at the time, and it was the second model from the top after the E500. Please check my other listing for the E500.
This guitar has a crystal clear tone, with sweet, bright trebles and metallic basses with lots of overtones. It also has exceptional clarity and note separation.
I have modified the bracing to achieve greater dynamics and projection, and tune to sound board to G.
The neck is reinforced with a trip of solid rosewood to prevent the neck from bending over time.
