I have for sale this Toru Nittono Model-T Archtop Jazz Guitar. If you know Toru Nittono guitars you know that to have one made takes over a year because of their unparalled quality and sound. This guitar features an exquisite sunburst design with a Carved spruce top and is in absolute mint condition. It also has a special added optional piezo bridge pickup and preamp for even more sonic possibilities and tone. It also includes the original case also in mint condition. The Nylon version of this instrument is currently for sale on Reverb for over $11,000. My price for this is $5,700

For the last 28 years, Toru Nittono has worked with a venerable list of heavyweights. He does repairs and makes guitars under his own name at his Van Nuys workshop. Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, John Pisano, Ted Greene, Robben Ford, Coco Montoya, John Sykes and Carlos Santana have all either owned one of Nittono’s custom-made creations, or relied upon his repair skills. $5,700

Wow, gorgeous!!

Toru is the Man, and this is a wonderful looking instrument! I've checked these out at NAMM before, and they feel/sound so good!

[Back when I lived in Southern California, I was speaking with Taku Sakashta (RIP!) about some stuff, and he said if I ever needed "the Best" guy to work on my gear, to call Toru!].

GLWTS!

I just took the pics you've requested but am having trouble sending them to you or adding on to my original post.
If you have an email, I can definitely send you.
