This guitar was produced from 1968 to 1972. This is a true
hollow bodied guitar in that it has no centre block. The differences to the 15
are mainly cosmetic it has checked binding round the body and fret board which
the 15 doesn’t have and it has “thumbprint” fret board inlays rather than dots.
MRRP was 24000 yen in 1968.
