eine frühere Arbeitskollegin möchte ihre vor Urzeiten erstandene Shinano SF 20-Konzertgitarre verkaufen - ich kenne mich damit nun überhaupt nicht aus und konnte ihr da auch keine Werteinschätzung geben. Es ist als "handmade in Japan" beschildert: https://www.guitar-list.com/shinano/aco ... nano-sc-20
Sie hat wohl lange Jahre nur im Koffer gelegen und ist entspr. wenig verschlissen. Hat jmd. so eine schonmal in Händen gehabt + was könnte sie für das Instrument in etwa verlangen ?
Danke für feedback + Grüssle,
Bilder würden bei einer prinzipiellen Einschätzung sehr helfen!
Im Decamp Forum habe ich nur dies zu Shinanon gefunden. Demnach wäre die Shinanon 20 wohl ein Einsteigermodell. Das "Hand Made" sollte man nicht so eng sehen. Internetpreise lagen so im Bereich 200-300€, waren aber nicht gerade topaktuell.
"... I saved what my seller told me about my Shinano 73 guitar when I bought it a few years ago ... :
Its price in 1968 was 30 000 yen, an equivalent of 3/4 of average yearly salary of Japanese college graduate.
Mr. Seizo Shinano was a very skilled Master Luthier and founded Shinano Guitar Factory in mid-1960s. This guitar was made in late 1960s under supervision of Master Luthier Seizo Shinano. In early 1960s Mr. Shinano was working just as individual luthier competing with other best Japanese luthiers like Sakazo Nakade, Rokutaro Nakade, Sadao Yairi, Masaru Kohno, Seizi Inaba and others. At that time Masaru Kohno wasn't considered the best Japanese luthier yet. Seizo Shinano established his Guitar Factory Sometime in mid 1960s. This particular guitar was made at this factory.
He has earned my deepest respect for his guitars. Since my first encounter with my first Shinano (SC30) guitar I am constantly on the hunt for these guitars. To be precise for (GS) Grand Shinano and SC series, beyond any doubt very high grade guitars. Models made by this factory in 1960s were from introductory (models 13 to 43) through intermediate (53 to 63) and high end (73 through 93). Models Shinano 73(all solid woods Spruce/Indian Rosewood b/s), Shinano 83 (solid Spruce top, solid Brazilian Rosewood Back, laminated BR sides) and Shinano 93 (all solid woods with Spruce/BR) are greatly respected by Japanese players and considered as concert guitars.
By early 1970s the labelling system of Shinano guitars changed to SC (Shinano Concert) and GS models.
Some info about Shinano guitars:
Instruments previously produced in Japan during the 1960s and 1970s.
Shinano was a trademark and possibly the name of a luthier who built classical guitars in Japan during the 1960s and 1970s. It is reported that Shinano guitars were distributed by Daion, but it is unknown if Shinano guitars were distributed in the U.S. by Daion's distributor MCI, Inc. in Waco, TX. Shinano guitars appear to built of mid- to high quality, but it is unknown if they were factory or hand-built. Any further information on Shinano can be submitted directly to Blue Book Publications.

The complex story of Yamaki guitars is entwined with the histories of a number of other Japanese companies. In the late 1940s, brothers Yasuyuki and Kazuyuki Teradaira started working for Tatsuno Mokko, an instrument-building firm that later split into two different companies, one of which was called Hayashi Gakki. In 1954 Hayashi Gakki was bought out by Zenon, a large music distributor. In 1962 Yasuyuki left Zenon to start an instrument distributor he called Daion, which means “big sound” in Japanese. In 1967 Kazuyuki left Zenon to produce classical guitars under the name Yamaki, an auspicious Japanese word meaning “happy trees on the mountain.” By the early 1970s, Kazuyuki expanded the Yamaki line to include a large number of steel-string guitars, many of which were based on C.F. Martin and Co.’s designs and were distributed exclusively through Daion. Along with Yamaki guitars, Daion sold instruments from Shinano, Mitsura Tamura, Chaki, and Hamox, some of which were built by Yamaki at various times, and Harptone guitars, which they imported from the US."
