2010 Kazuo Sato Prelude, Indian Rosewood/Alpine Spruce
This 2010 Prelude model from Kazuo Sato offers a smooth, even voice with lovely articulation across the registers; we’re smitten. Indian Rosewood back and sides paired up with Alpine Spruce on top (aged 20 years beforehand! making this a 30-year-old top today), Mahogany neck, and Alessi tuners for added elegance. This lovely number has opened up handsomely in the intervening years, and we’re excited to report it has a lively projection waiting just under the surface with a heavier attack. French Polish throughout, plus an under-four-pounds play weight, makes for an easy, responsive playing experience. We’re excited to see where the next 10 years takes this one!

For over 40 years now, premium classical guitars have been made in our workshop. However, the history of Sato Guitars goes back a lot further than that, taking us all the way back to the 1960s. In 1965 Kazuo began an apprenticeship in Tokio with the master luthier Nobe in Tokio. Six years later, in 1971, Kazuo went on to Oxford/England to the well known master luthier David Rubio. Under his guidance Kazuo began building lutes and guitars. Subsequently he founded his first workshop in Belgium in 1974. Two years later he relocated to Germany. He continues to come up with new ideas and innovations to drive the development of the traditional classical guitar to this very day. Kazuo‘s second passion in life is the photography
