[Profile]
Born in Tokyo in 1932. The second son of Sakazo Nakade (1906-1993), the leader of Japan Vintage. Under the training of his father, he started making violins and guitars at the age of 16, and five years later he became devoted to making guitars. After that, in 1968, he moved to Spain and entered the workshop of Madrid maker Hernandez y Aguado. The influence of his two master craftsmen became decisive for him and clearly directed his own subsequent production philosophy. It is clearly shown in the decoration, structure, and timbral characteristics, and the guitar with his unique personality has gained popularity due to its powerful sound and rich expression.
His guitar, which is a representative of Japanese brands with a Spanish atmosphere, has become a popular item overseas as well as his father Sakazo.

[Description]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of Master 30 made by Toshihiko Nakade in 1998. Based on his master Hernandez y Aguado, he reconstructed the Spanish sound in his own way, and completed it with a quality balance that is widely accepted in the Japanese market. The body size is rather large, but the weight is a little light.
It has a raw, woody sound that makes the body tremble, and its majestic appearance is the work of a veteran maker. In addition to its wide range of expressiveness, it is easy to play with no stress. This is an outstanding model for a guitar in this price range.
There are some scratches and dents on the sound board, but they are commensurate with its age. There is a 15cm long scratch on the treble side of the bridge.
