I bought this from a friend in Japan. It has a small crack in the finish on the top but is quite a beautiful guitar. Does anyone have any information on how many of these were made?

Robert: Without answering your question, we can safely say, not very many.

Are those neck inlays blue as well, or is that just a trick of the light?

Arggghhhh. Got my attention! Amazing...

Oh, and I love the pickguard!

neck inlays are typical and not blue... here is the sound hole look:

and the unfortunate finish flaw... opinions on what to do about it?

Pretend it's not there?
Alternately, one of those trucker's friend stickers, a la Peter Buck's 360 JG, would be smashing.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!

How does it play?
How does it sound?

Check out the rosewood grain on the bridge.

Wow.... How old is it? Is that one of the original Blue Boy guitars from the '50's? How much did you pay for that, Robert?

it was displayed at the tokyo music fair a few years back...
serial # 0032928

plays like a dream....
can't remember the price (which is probably a good thing)
