Mr. Yamauchi was a Tokai employee who simply signed acoustic guitars. Adachi san told me he simply did so, it did not mean more that that.

Regards.

This one seems to be from 1975 based on the serial number...

I guess he was active in the mid 1970s and was on board at the beginning of the Cat's Eyes production.

Stated as 1976, but I can't see the serial number to confirm.

These all seem to date to 1975 and 1976, the beginning of the Cat’s Eyes line.

Further, these were all likely built at the Terashima location.

The material is the life of the guitar.

I think the quality of the finish and careful construction can be felt just by looking at it and holding it in your hands. Please try playing the sound. It perfectly reproduces the tone of an old Martin guitar. This took full advantage of our partnership with Martin, and by using spruce, the best material for guitars, for the top, we were able to achieve a ``sharp, beautiful sound."

The point of contact between the first and second hearts.

If you pick up a guitar and feel like something is about to emerge, just try expressing it honestly. This is your straight heart. As you play over and over again, your sensitive fingertips will begin to search for sounds on their own. At times like these, I feel an indescribable depth to the play, and my eyes are fixed on my fingertips. Cat's Eye Guitar is the connection between all your hearts.
