HISTORY NT-07

This is the NT-07, the top-of-the-line model from Shimamura Music's HISTORY brand from the 2000s.
I bought it used about 3-4 years ago, but I don't remember the website or the price I paid. (lol)
I think it was probably over 100,000 yen.

The overall condition has minor scuffs, scratches, and dings, but no deep scratches or dings.
I'll list all the negative points first.
1. There is cloudiness throughout the sides and back. It doesn't affect the sound, though. (Images 17, 18, 19)
2. Currently, there is no endpin, just a hole. Please attach a pin as you like, or widen the hole to install a pickup, etc. (Image 16)
3. There is a bulge on the top. If you place a straight ruler parallel to the bridge, there will be a 2-3mm gap on each side.

Next, regarding the neck condition, it is almost straight with almost no warping.
There is about 80% of fret life remaining, but not much saddle adjustment room.
However, I think the string height can be lowered by about 0.5mm.
The current string height is 2.2mm at the 12th fret for the 6th string and 1.8mm at the 12th fret for the 1st string.

This is Shimamura Music's top-of-the-line model, made with genuine high-quality materials, and its sound reflects that.
Unlike Gibson, it has a bright, beautiful, and straightforward tone that is not unpleasant. (I love Gibson, by the way.)
It's a sound that even an amateur can recognize as good, so please consider it.

Here is the product description from the web:
