What is the history of Abe Gut guitars by Zen On Japan?

In: Guitars [Edit categories]

Answer:

First of all, Master Yasuo ABE was a winner of the Japan National Classical Guitar Concur in 1948 and also a first Japanese student learnt from Segovia and Pjohl in 1953 in Italy. He was the first instructor in a 30-min. TV Guitar lesson series that began in 1966. Then, I was a kid and practised hard his theme from Sor's Magic Flute variation. So to speak, Master Abe (1925 - 1999) was a founder of the Japanese classical guitar world after World War II.

As he was a number 1 gutarist then, lots of guitars were made under his guidance, supervision, and approval. Zen-on intruments Co., Ltd. mostly produced mass production model and a handful of genuine handmade. Finer artisans produced Abe direct approvals. I haven't had nor used Abe model at all. So I don't know their characteristics.
