Guys,

I recently discovered the BLUES GUITAR imported from JAPAN.

This is an awesome hand made guitar of a super high caliber! The craftsmanship is superior to any thing made on an assembly line and better than that made in most custom shops!!!

I saw Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown play a BLUES GUITAR about two years ago. Also I've heard that the following guitarist also own a "BLUES GUITAR":
_CLARENCE "GATEMOUTH" BROWN
_ERIC CLAPTON
_OTIS RUSH
_ROY GAINS
_JOHN SCOFIELD
_LITTLE MILTON
_MICK TAYLOR
_SHUN KIKOTA
_HAROLD WHERRY
_CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE
_ROBERT LOCKWOOD JR.

Harold:

That's a wild instrument!

I've never seen a one piece pickup surround like that. Is there a reason why it's so large? Is there a large cavity under it?

Is only the top wing hollow?

Is the back control cover matching maple or painted plastic? The tailpiece, the pickguard...tons of very original design in this puppy!

Can I ask how much something like this goes for? Is there a website where we can get more info?

John,

<<<Is there a reason why it's so large? Is there a large cavity under it? I believe there is a cavity under the pickups.

<<<Is only the top wing hollow? NO! Adds to Style and Design. SUSTAINS for DAYS!

<<<Is the back control cover matching maple or painted plastic? The back control cover is matching MAPLE!

<<<The tailpiece, the pickguard...tons of very original design in this puppy! THAT'S RIGHT!

THE BODY ON THE MODEL IS ABOUT 15.25 INCHES ACROSS!


THE BODY ON MY OTHER MODEL IS ABOUT 16.25 INCHES ACROSS!

<<<Is there a website where we can get more info? None that I'm aware.

CONTINUED FROM UP ABOVE:

I would compare the "BLUES GUITAR" to a Super Custom Shop version of the Ibanez AS400 semi-hollowbody!

The "BLUES GUITAR" has the following features:
_Custom Binding!
_Custom Pickups!.. strong, soulful,& Outstanding!
_Custom Neck! .. FLAWLESS CRAFTSMANSHIP
_Custom Fret Job! ... FLAWLESS WORKMANSHIP!
_Custom Tuners!
_Custom Tailpiece!
_Custom ply-Spruce top! ..SUSTAINS & TONE, TONE!!!

I found a web site, but you have to be able to read Japanese (and set your browser for that language).

Anybody know what these things go for?

BLUES GUITAR...

Below is a little sample from "MIKE" a BLUES GUITAR owner who wrote a review on Harmony Central!


Features: 9
2000 ONG, Semi-hollow. 3 way pickup selector, 2 mini-humbuckers, guitar comes in two sizes, large and medium body. Chickenhead knobs. Pau Ferro Fretboard. Guitar is solid red. Beautiful pearloid binding. Gold hardware. Body-style is much like a Rickenbacker. The coolest feature of this guitar is the wooden escutcheon. Behind it is a gold colored mirror, and the wood is sculpted out to reveal the mirror, in the shape of a crawfish. Way cool! Way blues!

Sound: 10
Bought the guitar for blues, jazz tones. But this thing smokes on rock!...

Overall Rating: 9
I would have to give the guitar a 9. ....
