: : I have a Sakura 12 string guitar. I have had for about 25 year. Need to know what it is worth? And has anyone ever heard of this brand? Any info will help, PLease email me. Thanks
: I have a 6 string about 1980 . first i ever heard of too. says inside it was handmade by the luthier guitar company.
: no other info to give but would be interested to find out more too.
As I sit typing this, I'm looking at my old six string Sakura. Got it in 1973 from my parents for Christmas. It is the spruce and rosewood model mentioned in another entry earlier. That would make this guitar around 33 years old. I don't think my parents really knew what they were buying back then, but it has been a constant companion through life. Its a great guitar. My youngest son damaged the neck when he was two. (stood on it!) I repaired it and it still plays like a champ. Saw a 12 string on ebay recently and they were asking three hundred for thier Sakura.
