Beautiful Kasuga W-10 lawsuit guitar based on a contemporary D-28, made in Japan (Nagoya) circa 1970s.
In excellent condition, complete with its original hard case. Kasugas are rare and wonderful quality guitars, made in Japan to the usual high standards of the period. This one is difficult to date owing to the far-and-few-ness of Kasuga models, but the label style, 'Made in Japan' label and appointments hint highly at a guitar built circa 1970s, very early 80s at the latest. The green label to the back of the headstock has the serial number on, though again owing to the above its difficult to discern a specific date from this!
Specs:
- Country of origin Japan (Nagoya)
- Date of production: circa 1970s
- Solid spruce top
- Mahogany neck with M-style headstock shape
- Laminate mahogany back and sides
- Very tightly grained ebonised mahogany bridge (though likely not actual ebony, it would fool most!)
- Rosewood fingerboard with black binding, small dot inlays
- M-style truss rod adjuster to base of neck through soundhole
- Original hard case
Condition:
In excellent condition, no discernible damage, breaks or repairs. Clean and well looked after with some minor signs of playing wear and the odd forgivable piece of patina. Frets and board in good condition with some wear but plenty of life left. Plays beautifully with a comfortable action.
Modifications/repairs:
None.
Accessories:
Original hard case.
A ridiculous amount of guitar for the money - easily goes toe-to-toe with its Japanese contemporaries and dare I say, some of its American ones, too!
