[Profile]
Born in Tokyo in 1946, he began learning guitar-making techniques under Kuniharu Nobe in 1965. He then moved to England, where he studied lute and guitar making in the workshop of David Jose Rubio, a master craftsman in England, from 1971.
During this period he was also entrusted with the production of Rubio-labeled workshop pieces and was allowed to ship them stamped with KS's initials.
In 1974, he moved to the suburbs of Brussels, Belgium, to set up his own workshop, and in 1976, he moved his workshop to Germany, where he continues to make guitars to this day.
From the 1970s to the 1990s, he produced orthodox guitars based on Rubio-like styles, but around 2000, he began to build his own new models, which have dramatically increased in volume and are widely supported, mainly by concert guitarists. His son, Hideo, has now joined the workshop and is recognized as an excellent concert guitar maker just like his father.

[Description]
Kazuo Sato's high-end model, Special 2020, is now in stock. This model is a higher level than the famous Prestige model, and is a rare model in the domestic market.
The top is thin and has a rich sound. The tone is slightly dry and similar to many of the elements of the Prestige model, but the response is more clarified. The volume has the richness and power of a modern guitar, with excellent performance for a concert guitar.
There are some scratches around the sound hole, but there are no cracks or other repairs, and it is in very good condition.
