2001 Sakashta "Lotus" model 16" acoustic archtop
Taku Sakashta
This traditional archtop has been made with Sakashta's finest woods. It was made as a show guitar for the Long Island Guitar Show a few years ago and then adopted as a sample guitar here at FGC. It is now offered for sale as a new instrument from the maker.

Rarely is there a finished Sakashta without an owner. This instrument is finished with an aged, dark lemon-yellow tint over a Master Grade Blue spruce hand carved top. The highly 3-dimensional quilted maple back and sides will make you gasp. A blank ebony board with matching guard and cello tailpiece sets off the scrumptious colors. 1 11/16" at the nut, this guitar is built to feel like a '175,' but with solid carved woods and hand carved by one man. The tone has an elegant, intimate charm. It has a warm, lyrical, singing tone. The notes have personality. The floating pickup option was beautifully installed by Taku.

Avoid a 2-year+ wait. A Blue spruce top like this one is no longer available.
