Rider J350 Custom J45 Style Dreadnought Acoustic (Used)

Rider J350 dreadnought acoustic. Made in Japan in the 70s by Hayashi Guitars where Yasuo Momose cut his teeth before leaving to form Headway/Deviser/Momose guitars. This is an excellent example of how craftsmanship can wring the most out of limited materials. Despite being all laminate, it sounds deceptively like a solid wood model with chalk fit bracing and a smoothly sculpted bridge unlike anything Martin or Gibson were making. 

Laminate spruce top
Laminate mahogany back and sides
Ebony bridge
Rosewood board with parallelograms
V shaped neck like the originals of the era
Tuners replaced with nice Gotoh units
Setup with Elixirs
Action is medium high with little room in the saddle to lower it
