Kiso Suzuki acoustic guitar W-180 D-28 copy w/ Martin strings lawsuit

Description

NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS. I WILL ALLOW LOCAL PICKUP.
This is an acoustic guitar. The brand is Kiso Suzuki & the model number is W-180. The serial number dates this guitar to 1974. It looks, sounds, and plays wonderfully.
This is a Japanese-made '
Lawsuit-era'
flat top, designed after a Martin D-28. The headstock lettering even mimics Martin’s logo. No wonder Martin sued.
The neck is straight with appropriate relief. It has an adjustable truss rod and a slim neck profile, 1-11/16" at the nut, and a 25.5" scale. Good intonation up the neck. The frets are in great shape. Tuners work smoothly & properly. Very clean; no odors.
All parts appear original to the guitar.
I installed a new set of light gauge Martin Marquis strings; gauges 12, 16, 25, 32, 42, 52.
The guitar does have two ‘issues’:
I can see a bit of glue residue at the bridge, so there may have been a repair.
There is a hairline crack at the bottom of the heel. It seems stable.
From a smoke & pet free home.
See photos for condition. I only ship to the 48 lower states.
No international shipping, please don’t ask
. I will ship ASAP after your payment clears, but I don't go to the Post Office every day, so keep that in mind. I usually get to the PO by the Thursday following the payment date, or sooner. Any questions, ask before bidding & I will do my best to answer. I am knowledgeable, but not an expert. No returns. Pay via paypal.
See the shipping calculator for shipping cost.
I do my best to keep my starting price low, so the bidders can decide the final value. I use the eBay shipping calculator. Please don’t hold it against me for what the USPS charges for shipping.
