Up for sale here at The Guitar Dude we have this stunning and sonorous Cat's Eyes Dreadnought. The Cat's Eyes line of guitars were offered and manufactured by Tokai Japan and built to the highest levels of craftsmanship. This piece certainly displays all of the detail and toneful, performance geared playability along with fine material selection, form and fit. Basically a take on Martin's famous D-41, the CE-1000D really captures the essence of the classic Martins of the 50's 60s and 70s with warmth, detail, and gorgeous clarity and separation. This piece is in fantastic condition with only minimal signs of use and wear, a true closet classic that will steal the savvy players heart with a genuine vibe and aura that kindles energy and inspiration. The D series is a guitar with a new concept that has not been seen in Cat's Eye guitars so far. In addition to the functionality of tone, volume, and playability, fashion is also important. Visual elements are also important, especially in concerts and live houses. The position marks and body trim inlays made of abalone and abalone pearl cell shine brilliantly in the spotlight, and the D series shows its charm. The unity between the player and the audience is strengthened and the concert reaches its climax. The sound obtained from the Dreadnought body with X-bracing is highly adaptable and boasts a wide range that is sufficient for any playing style. The smooth finger work born from the balance of the slim neck and perfect fret-over binding is also unique to this series. The 1000-D is a faithful replica of the Martin D41 and this particular example has really opened up over the last 45 years and is in exceptional condition. A real pleasure to play, this beauty will instantly become your go to.
This CE-1000D has a dynamic and powerful sound similar to the Martin D41 model in Tokai Cat's-Eyes, but with a more subtle tone.The sound is wonderful with a good balance between the deep bass of the dread note size and the brilliant treble that comes from the good sound finish unique to Rosewood Body.
The balance of tone and volume is very nice, and this guitar makes you want to play forever.
Harmonious overtones are wonderful, and it also has a delicate sounds, perfect for fingering play. The fret over binding on the fingerboard gives a smooth feel that improves playability.
CE-1000D is the best of the Martin D41 complete replica models from Tokai Cat's Eye.It also comes with a replica Martin hardshell case from the early 1970s, commonly known as the Cat's Eye blue case! These hardshell cases are hard to find. It has three tiny dings on the back of the neck near the bottom, otherwise it is near mint condition.

We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping.
