Back in the 70's the Japanese builders were giving the big boys a run for there money, Goya was no exception, CF Martin purchased Goya and made many models.. BUT only two were made by Goya's master luthiers in Japan under the guidence of CF Martin, a jumbo model and this model the G 375. These were totally hand built, with all solid wood construction, no laminated woods were used in the construction of this flagship model. This G 375, in near mint condition, squeeky clean,one owner condition, the guitar was purchased new , see the original sales reciept, the owner lost intrest and in the case it went ,for the next 31 years.Fortunatley it was preserved in a good environment, as there is no checking, cracks, warpage or damage of any kind, this guitar is TOP QUAILTY!!!.. The Solid spruce top is flawless as is the rest of the guitar, solid flamed maple used for the sides and back is extraordiary!! Double bound fingerboard, peal inlay,herring bone binding , gold hardware, with tourtise binding,note the Martin "diamond" on the back of the head stock, exclusive to the high end Martin guitars.. The pictures tell the story the guitar is AMAZING!!Also check out the page from the mid 70's catalogue .. The sound is big a loud , and easily can keep up with a good old Gibson or a D-18... , but with a more crisper tone due to the maple construction,Plays like any new Martin would with a nice tall saddle to lower the action if you prefer low action, truss rod is located inside the guitar and funtions perfecty.......Anyway there she is, pristene and awaiting it's new owner.. Price is $749.0
