Arita Model 31, +/- 1985

I never had a better sounding steel string. OK I do have more experience with nylon string classical- and flamenco guitars but I really do like this guitar. The formal owner did not play it a lot because he liked more classical guitar. I did some minor repairs and adjustment to it, cleaned and polished it and put my favorite metal strings on it. The result surprised me. It plays easy and has a warm deep sound.

Good sustain, dry and bright trebbles. Chords do sound great and finger picking is possible. To my opinion this is a real concert guitar. If somebody knows more about this model or has seen it before, please let me know. With a stick on microphone you can do miracles with this instrument. I did take this guitar in, from a customer who bought a Bruunari and I am an experience richer. I do offer this expressive guitar with lots of volume (if you want to) for a much to low price. On the original tag from 1987 the prize says 240 guilders. Just buy now it and you will have a fine western guitar.
