[Profile]
Born in Gunma, Japan, in 1974, he began making classical guitars at the age of 20. He learned at Sakae Ishii's workshop, where he built about 140 guitars. In 2001, he attended a workshop with José Luis Romanillos in Sigüença, Spain, which provided him with a decisive experience and convinced him that the traditional Spanish method was the direction he should take.
After returning to Japan, he set up a workshop in Tochigi Prefecture, and in October 2002, he launched the Romanillos model. His guitars are the fruit of his exploratory spirit and outstanding in their design and sonic perfection. He currently produces five to six guitars per year.

[Description]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of a used good Hauzer model 2018 No. 255 made by Masahiro Tanabe.Like his Torres model, it is an excellent replica model that closely resembles the original, and at the same time, it is a brilliant tribute work infused with Tanabe's own character.
The balance and separation from bass to treble is truly comfortable, and the sensitivity of the Spanish guitar that Hauser I had is also well embodied. Therefore, even with a soft touch, the sound penetrates firmly, and the expression is delicate and powerful enough, with a very high degree of perfection as a Hauser I model.

The entire body is finished in shellac, and despite its simple appearance, the meticulous attention to detail and the eye-catching mosaics add stylish accents, giving it a calm and elegant appearance. There are no cracks or other major repairs, and the guitar is in good condition except for a few play scratches around the soundhole and under the bridge. There are no problems with the neck, frets, or other parts related to playability.
