Tokai TCM-80V Cat's Eye トップ単板 80年代中期... - ヤフオク!

Tokai TCM-80V Cat's Eye Top Veneer
Mid 80's Japan Vintage

Pre-war Martin D-45 copy model.
It looks cool too.

Since the item I sent for repair after I got it has been delivered, I will put it up for sale.

The string height is about 6 strings 12F2.9mm (please forgive the error because it is an amateur measurement).
I think this string height is ideal for making the most of the volume of this instrument.
The saddle height is also adjustable.
This long saddle is also cool.

As expected of Tokai Cat's Eye. It sounds good.

repair point.
Please check the 1st and 2nd photos.
There was a vertical crack on the left side of the top.
I poured a tight bond here.
There is also a brace on the back, so I think it is unlikely that the crack will spread any further.
Also, the fingerboard was slightly floating, so I crimped it.
Other than that, there are no major cracks or creases.
