The MCG-35 is an outstanding guitar with some unique features that make it a favourite with players who want their first or second instrument to provide the dynamics and tone performance that a solid top guitar can provide. Katoh achieves a lower cost for a hand-crafted solid top instrument by using timbers that have natural “cosmetic irregularities” like colour variations and features that make the guitar not only unique but affordable.
