This is the first LS-120 got in 2008.

Some people may feel that I have many beautiful guitars, and simultaneously a few beautiful guitars except for expensive guitars on auctions.  You might think that I am specially lucky guy or have a special skill for getting beautiful guitars.

That’s half right and half wrong.

There are basically different rules of exhibition between on auction and on such a exhibition site like this.

Exhibitor of auction must show flaw of the item because it’s a commodity.  On the other hand, producer of a exhibition site is allowed to conceal the flaw and emphasize its good point.  So I have no duty to reveal the flaw, and can’t be blamed if I make picture more beautiful than real thing.  Professional photographer can make up a beauty from a average woman.  Of course not a professional photographer, but I faced the same direction.

I have guitars of real beauty and have also disappointing guitars.  That’s what I mean to say half right and half wrong.

And this guitar is really beautiful one.

Very impressive top, formed with flame and blister component of figure, making 3-dimensional effect like expanding thunderhead.  Freckles are also observed.  I can say this top is the same as LS-150 class or above.  Fingerboard was made of dense jacaranda.

When holding in my arms, I can easily imagine what the real ’Burst is.  This is rare guitar which make me feel real ‘Burst.  Pickups are DiMarzio PAF.  3.86kg(includes strings). (Updated 2016.8.26)
