Is there any particular reason for switching to a white guitar?

​

To you who respond to this phrase with a distant gaze, I shall issue you a resident certificate for my site.

​

In Japan, during the early 1970s, the image associated with white guitars was that of a delicate and pure woman in a long white skirt with hair down to her waist. However, from the late 1970s, it became a badge of honor for achieving outrageous feats on a certain television program, and by the 1980s, it became a symbol of visual kei musicians who would be pointed at by children while walking down the street. This guitar was made in 1984, placing it in the last group.

​

I may have written this in a somewhat negative tone, but looking at it this way, a standard Les Paul-style guitar actually looks quite nice in white.

​

To be precise, this guitar is not pure white but cream, and the top's shape has a softness that feels like a pie crust with small items placed on it, which is interesting. It seems like a guitar that would stand out on stage with a youthful band.

Everything is in original condition. The pickups are Smooth Crush. The weight is a heavyweight 4.78 kg (including strings). (Updated on May 29, 2016)
