LarryUK Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Picking this up today An Antoria Jazzstar. It's an L4/5 copy and was a bargain. I'll post some good pics later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Antoria made some very decent 'Lawsuit' guitars back in the '70s. Is that from that period, do you know? Looking forward to the report once she's 'in the hand'. Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Nice piece of work. Only issue I have with it is the lack of a scratchplate but that could easily be remedied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryUK Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Got it and it's better than I expected. Almost mint condition and for over 40 years old I'm really pleased. 8.5lbs. The quality is great. I wasn't expecting Gibson quality but I find that Korean guitars have a decent quality. I have a Hamer that's made there and it's better made than my studio. I've ordered a pickguard too. Just need a case now. https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/27982769_10215094287693521_3337396169027305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Gorgeous guitar, Larry! I'm looking forward to the p'g on snaps... ...I'm glad to see Guitar God's camera is making the rounds... Boy, did I laugh! Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Nice piece of work. Only issue I have with it is the lack of a scratchplate but that could easily be remedied. I prefer the no scratchplate look. I took the scratchplate off my jazz archtop (but it did hide the attachment bracket for the floating pickup). As for Korean guitars. I have 2. Both are superb. I think I may even prefer them to Japanese ones now. Love that Antoria blonde finish. Nothing shows nice grain off better than natural/blonde.
