Matsuoka MH100 All-Solid Classical Guitar

This is a solid spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides Matsuoka MH100 from the 1970s to early 1980s. It has some scratches and dents, but I believe it's in good condition for its age. The clear coat on the area where the right hand touches has peeled due to age, so it has been repaired at a guitar workshop to prevent further deterioration. The frets have also been replaced at a guitar workshop and have over 90% remaining. The bridge can likely be lowered further. The neck width is wider than modern guitars, similar to older Kohno guitars. The neck has a slight forward bow, which is common for vintage instruments, but I have not used any neck heaters as they can degrade the mahogany. The tone differs from current MH100 models; being all solid wood, it requires a certain level of playing skill to bring out its sound. Unfortunately, I can no longer play due to focal dystonia in my right hand and an injury to my left. I have cherished this guitar, but I am now listing it for sale. It will be shipped in an old hard case. Thank you for your consideration.
