• Parlor - These acoustic guitars are smaller-bodied than other types. They were played in the late 1800s and early 1900s. You can use these to play blues or folk music.
• Tenor - This is a four-string instrument. Gibson and C.F. Martin & Company were manufacturers of these vintage pieces. They can have a flat top or arch top, and they can have wood or metal-bodied resonators.
• Dreadnought - The dreadnought is larger than other guitars. This can allow the instrument to have a riche, bolder tone.
• Classical - This vintage guitar is made from wood and has nylon strings. The fingerboard typically has twelve frets and is ideal for playing more complex music that requires advanced finger-picking.

Can you find vintage guitar parts?

Yes, vintage guitar parts are available, so you can have everything you need to make your instrument complete.

• Tuners: You can find tuners, including those by Fender, to make sure you can sound the right notes.
• Strings: You can put either nylon or steel strings on a guitar. Nylon is used for classical and folk music, and steel strings are used for music, like rock. Some guitars are designed to accommodate a certain type of string, so be sure to take the time to understand what your vintage guitar was built for.

How can you get more from a vintage acoustic guitar?

Whether the guitar is by Gibson, Yamaha, or any other instrument manufacturers, regular upkeep can go a long way in helping the guitar's life. You can:

• Keep your vintage guitar in a case. You can find cases that fit your specific type of guitar, whether it's a parlor instrument or a dreadnought.
• Use a polishing cloth to clean the top, sides, and bottom of your guitar. A trace of dampness on the cloth or a warm breath of air on the guitar may be useful for getting rid of fingerprints and other smudges.
• Check the conditions. Ideally, acoustic guitars should be held in rooms with humidities between 45% and 55%.

  Information on Suzuki Nagoya acoustics?!?

  The Interwebs are sorely lacking on search results for these guitars! There's a particular one for sale on my local Craigslist, which is why I started researching.
  I thought Suzuki guitars were 70's creations only, and inexpensive student guitars at that. However, the seller claims this particular Suzuki dreadnaught is from the early 90's and that it's a quality all solid-wood build.
  The name on the headstock says 'Suzuki Triple S' and the model is AD320.
  Does anyone have a Blue Book with more info? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

  Send 'em an email.
  Suzuki is/was the largest manufacturer of student instruments. The guitars are well built but I would question the 'all solid-wood' statement unless it's meant to include solid wood laminate which the vast majority of guitar have for, at least the back and sides. Very few are, say, solid rosewood or mahogany back and sides but laminates of such. I would personally also question whether or not the top is laminated or solid, thinking it's more than likely laminated.

  Some years ago I had a cutaway Nagoya acoustic. I can't remember the model number but the headstock as the same as the W 120 on the internet. The finish was a dark tobacco sunburst, very pretty!
  I think it was a laminate but that certainly didn't affect the sound, very well balanced with enough sound for anyone. Lovely neck shape and feel, used regularly at home and on holidays, sessions and even trying to support a VERY loud bluegrass banjo.
  I never had a problem with the instrument losing tuning, lifting the bridge, neck needing a reset or any of the many and varied problems which can attack a guitar over the 15 or so years I owned it.
  My friends also played it - a variety of styles, all liked it.
  Eventually sold (with a clear conscience) to a friend when I upgraded to a Guild.

  Ok, I'm widening the investigation.
  These are pics of the actual guitar in question. Do these ring any bells for anyone? I'm also curious about when this guitar was made. The owner says early 90's, but I've only ever seen this 'triple s' headstock on 70's-era Suzukis.

  Suzuki was making guitars fro a long long time, maybe they exported mainly laminates, can`t say for sure, but I`ve found a few all solids over here. I checked a site that has catalogs including Suzuki but didn`t see the model you listed so I didn`t post a link in this thread. I`ll post pics of the labels of those I own that are solid wood.
  this is a `48 nylon string..
  a 1950 Kiso Suzuki..
  I`ve got three of these, no dates on the labels, but two are certainly solid.. one, the most recent, I`m not sure about, but if I had to bet I`d say yes. All three have different colored labels but all have the diamond cut bracing..
  heres what the diamond cut bracing looks like..

  here is a link to a site with some Suzukis..none of the labels on mine appear there, and some of the data they have conflicts with the guitars I own so I can`t swear the info there is accurate, in fact I know some isn`t but it`s very difficult finding stuff on many old MIJs I own, I`ve got a whole bunch in the 'unsolved mystery' file, but hey, whatever..I buy em to play, guess I`ll just have to struggle through life not knowing everything there is to know about some of my oldies. As long as they sound good, I`m happy.

  I see that yellow label on guitars on line here sometimes, sellers have stated theirs were from the `60s..but Suzuki had a LOT of different lables over the decades and if they don`t have a date on em, it is not easy finding info. The yellow one I posted a pic of above was used into the early `60s at least `cause I saw one dated 1960 on another guitar similar to the one my pic comes from.

  This is all very helpful, thanks to all. I should also mention the seller is asking $350 (comes with hardshell case). Fair?

  I`m in Japan so I`m in no position to say fair or not and my sense of fair has probably been warped since I got here. Just may be the only things cheaper in Japan are old MIJ acoustics.

  well heres the link to the old catalogs even though the one your talking about isn`t there..looks like the label on yours goes back to at least the `80s if you scroll down and click on the images to enlarge you`ll see labels that look like the one in your pic. Plus you can compare headstock logos and shape..

  I have still got a Nagoya Suzuki w-120VSC cutaway tobacco sunburst exactly as you describe. I bought it new in about 1983 and you are right -it is a fantastic guitar for the money. Although I use a Takamine en-20 (another 1980s relic)for gigging, the Suzuki is the first choice at home for composing or noodling about on. The action is fantastic and the sound is well rounded. It hasn't got the volume or tone of the Tak, but it's a much nicer guitar to play. My wife won't play any other and she won't let me sell it! I have never adjusted anything other than replacing strings in all those years. It's hard to fault really. The build quality is good -the g string sometimes 'jumps' or clicks when you tune it and the intonation gets a bit suspect right up past the 12th. fret. These could probably be sorted easily, although i've never felt the need. Apart from a few chips, the finish has stayed in remarkably good condition(compared with the Tak which is disintigrating around the soundhole). I think I paid about

  You might want to check the archives here as well. There was a thread on guitars branded 'Nagoya' that I guess were Suzukis. No really good records on these things. Mine is in my lap as I speak. Just boned the bridge. It's about a '72 model, as far as I can tell. Solid spruce top, and the sides and back appear, to the best of my ability to determine, to be solid EIR. Mine is a true copy of a contemporaneous Martin, down to the oversized rosewood bridge plate. It was manufactured as a 'House Brand' for a local music store in the D.C. area. Point being, though they made a lot of student level stuff, they were capable of turning out better guitars. $350 sounds a little steep, but with a good hardshell case , it's not out of the ballpark. Compare it to other guitars in he price range, like the Yamaha 7XXS series, and make up your own mind. Only rule of thumb I haveis, If it sounds good, it is good.

  The guitar is still for sale, but now he's asking $400.
  So it goes unsold for weeks and the price goes up? Baffling.
  Here's the listing:

  I say no way is that an all-solid guitar.
