The Modern Classic, from Keisuke Nishi  of Keystone Instruments is his interpretation of the traditional meets modern OM. It has a gorgeous set of Honduran Rosewood back and sides, alongside a Torrefied Bearclaw German Spruce, and is every bit as beautiful to the eyes as it is to the ears. Every guitar we get from Keystone Instruments is a piece of functional art and always impresses us. This Modern Classic is no exception.

Kiesuke Nishi of Keystone guitars is building some of the nicest modern  guitar’s today. His attention to detail is second to none. This SJ has a stunning set of Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides and a beautiful Bearclaw German Spruce top. It is responsive, powerful, and articulate, perfect for modern fingerstyle and also take a flatpick really well. Multiscale setup at 25.5-26.25 gives it piano like bottom end with rich round trebles all the way down to C tuning. A scooped rib bevel adds comfort and the soundport gives you your own personal monitor. The 3D Amboyna burl Rosette is just perfect.  A Ogawa inlay of maple leaves and Mt.Fuji at the headstock is simply stunning and the Alessi  tuners are our favorites here at Cedar Rock.
