The coolest Archtop I've owned - Sakashta

I acquired this several years ago because of how beautiful and unobtainable it was. I loved every second of owning it. Truly art in every sense of the word. I let a skilled jazz player test drive it and in the hands of that player it came alive. I realized jazz is not my forte but I can still appreciate the music, guitars and genre.

That’s a beauty! If it plays as well as it looks…

Wow amazing!! It's definitely an amazing piece to own...I know that taku sakashta was murdered around 2010. I'm guessing you didn't buy this directly from him. So I'm wondering where you found this? Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure it would be just as suitable for many other genres! You speak in past tense, did you sell it?

Is that a soundport cum strap fixation point?
