[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]
The model 'AGUADO' made by Toshihiko Nakade, made in 2020, has arrived. It is a copy model of 'Hernandez y Aguado', which he has always considered as the norm of guitar production, and is one of the top models of this brand.
Unlike his regular model (Master series), it has a delicate yet powerful and noble sound. Of course, the rich sound that is typical of Toshihiko Nakade is heard here as well, and there is no lack of sensitivity. The tension of the strings is moderate and it is easy to play with both hands.
There are only a few scratches. The original cashew paint, back and sides are Jacaranda (Brazilian rosewood). The workmanship is just right for the best model, and it is a valuable guitar just before the retirement of Toshihiko Nakade.
