Up for sale I have a Rider R-600D built by Hayashi in the mid 70's. This is a fabulously well-made acoustic guitar with deep, rich lows, clear brilliant highs, and beautiful mids. This is an early model built by Hayashi, with the truss rod adjustment inside the sound hole as an 8mm nut. It has a solid spruce top with Olive Rosewood back and sides. Some claim that these are solid back and sides, but original specs say laminate.
This one is not perfect, but it plays and sounds fantastic. There are a number of bumps and nicks that I have repaired. These marks are all on the face of the guitar. The action is low and fast, sitting right around 2.3mm at the 12th fret on the 6th string. The truss rob works well but not easily reached.
Specifications:
Top: Solid Spruce/ Martin style bracing with non-scalloped braces/ thin coat of lacquer
Back & Sides: Olive Rosewood/ urethane
Fingerboard: Ebonized Rosewood
Neck: Mahogany
Scale 645 mm
Width at Nut: 43 mm
Please not that I am in St Paul not Strathcona. I do get into Edmonton often enough to make deliveries. I will take E-transfers and I will ship upon completed payment .
