[Profile]
He was born in Tokushima Prefecture in 1940, learned classical guitar playing from Kohgoro Mizobuchi, and joined the Tokushima Guitar Association in 2000, learning guitar playing from Michio Kawatake and at the same time joining the guitar making club. In the same year, he completed his first guitar, which he made himself, and has continued to make guitars consistently ever since, albeit in limited quantities. The guitars are made in the traditional method based on the Torres method, and are finished with shellac for a rustic tone and style. He is also involved in translation, and has co-translated two of the most famous books in classical guitar making, 'Antonio de Torres: Guitar Maker - His Life and Work' by José Luis Romanillos and 'Things about the Guitar ' by José Ramirez III.

[Description]
Tadao Sato No.53 made in 2008 with spruce and flame maple specs is in stock. There is no particular model name on it, but it is based on Antonio de Torres.
The maple's characteristic bold sound, thinly processed board, and shellac finish make this guitar gentle to the ear, warm, and has a moderate core strength. The flame maple used is also of high quality, and the entire body has changed to a candy color with age, giving it a rich and tasteful appearance. There are some scratches and scratches near the sound hole and under the bridge.
