1973 C.F. Mountain Dreadnought natural

Excellent condition, 8/10, Made in Japan, including worn original hardcase, the previous (first) owner bought this guitar new from Nils Forsström (guitar maker and importer) who had his shop at Stora Nygatan 26 in Stockholm in January of 1974, the label was installed by the Nils Forsström-store and has it´s own serial 780 and the year 1973, but the guitar is stamped inside with the number 1203 and Made in Japan, spruce top and rosewood body, cool headstock design and interesting inlay patterns in the fingerboard with 5 dots in a row, the guitar later got new tuning machines in 1978 and new frets & bridge in the 2010s so she is now ready to be played for another 50 years, more info from Jedistar: Mountain and CF Mountain guitars were 1970s copies of US Martin, Gibson etc guitars. Says established 1948 on the headstock. ? Made by Headway I saw the word Headway on a Japanese Yahoo page for this brand of guitar. Certainly made by Hayashi per examples below. One C F Mountain guitar has Mountain Folk Stamped inside, and in Large Mother of Pearl Letters it has Hayashi down the center of the headstock, the way high end Martins have Martin on the headstock. The name of company was Hayashi musical instrument Ltd. They produced mainly the copy of Martin and Guild to early 80s from the middle of 70s. The builder that produces many of them was Mr.Yasuo Momose. Now, Mr.Momose is most famous guitar builder in Japan. He produces the original handmade guitar on the high end guitar brand named Headway.
