Thread Name: Mountain Guitars (japanese 70's brand)
Subject: RE: Mountain Guitars (japanese 70's brand)
Like one other commenter stated, I purchase my CF Mountain acousital 6-string guitar from Jim's House of Guitars in San Diego, CA in 1990. I took lessons for 6 months with a very progressive teacher who played backup guitarist for several groups. He loved my Mountain. My model is a W400D. It has a light spruce top body with three piece rosewood back and sides. The front opening is inlayed with abalone and has abalone inlay on the neck in several fret positions. This CF Mountain is like new and has always been stored in a hard case lined with scratch proof soft simulated sheepskin. I also have a Wittner GT2 battery operated quartz tuner. In 1990 (around Thanksgiving time) I bought the guitar and tuner, case and leather strap. The guitar alone was priced at $645.00 (U.S.), tuner was $48.00 (still like new). I bought this guitar specifically for its great throaty sound. Only for a sound price would I consider selling this investment piece guitar. Serious inquiries only. Bob
