Dub-T-123 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I have a lefty Aria Pro II "The Cat" which I think was made in Japan but it's not vintage. Probably late 80s or 90s. It has SSH pickup config. My brother got it at a pawn shop for $200 because he wanted to learn guitar. He gave up and gave me the guitar. I don't use it but I'm not going to sell it. I think I might jack up the action and use it for slide. It has a few issues. The volume pot is really scratchy and it cuts out sometimes. Being left handed it's pretty uncomfortable for me to play and I can't use a strap with it. The neck and frets are great but I just want to use it for slide. Sorry I don't have any pics right now. I need to get the photobucket app on my phone and then I'll post pics of all my stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 My first guit tar. I love her to pieces. "Epaphrodite" is a 1974-ish FT145SB "Texan" I love the tone and will never part with her. I would pay serious money for a 'Scroll'. But I don't have serious money. I would accept a donation though. It is so-o-o-o-o cool looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 That is an Epiphone' date=' made by the Matsumoku factory. If it kils your high E, check the roller saddle, it may be sharp due to corrosion. Also, be very very gentle with the neck, dont give neck vibrato, because the neckjoint and heel are very fragile. Here is his brother the Epiphone ET-290N: [img']http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr80/geert1976/006-41.jpg[/img] Nice axe[cool] What's strange about my Epi is that the body is one piece... or I think it is[confused] ..... I have yet to see another that has a one piece body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Nice guitars, everyone! I don't have anything to share in the Vintage Japanese department. I have been scouring the 'net for an Ibanez lawsuit LP, but my reasons for that are silly. ...Just as are my reasons for wanting an Epiphone Dwight and a Messenger Thinline...

albertjohn Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Nice guitar Yamaha SG's are very good[drool] yours is very rare by the way Cheers. Unfortunately I made a school boy error soon after I bought it in 1977. Stripped down, stained the wood a rosewood colour and covered it in aout 1/2" of polyurathane. I love all the knocks and scratches I have left on it so will leave it be now. Never play it now but will always keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geert1976 Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 I forgot one.. A 1969 Sakai, plywood body, 6-on a strip tuners, bad volume and tone pots But the guitar is special.., it had never been played on and is in full original state. The most important thing is the autograph from the dutch guitarplayer George Kooijmans, from the Golden Earring (Radar Love, Twilight Zone) Kooijmans can have slash for breakfast[flapper] He made an album with Frank Carillo this year, and its a grate album!

Spike~ Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I have a '73 Takamine 12 String, pre-lawsuit model that bears the Martin-Style logo and headstock. The design is a blatent copy of a Martin, but the build quality is excellent. It has sustain for days and holds a tune for months. I'll get a picture later.

Duende Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I love Japanese gear! Japan followed closely by America, rule in electric guitar making The Japanese Gretsch and Squier (1983) JV series in action. My version of Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed's 'Jerry's Breakdown'. The video is me playing all my favourite babies!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d5E1mYNtmk The Squier and me having fun jamming to Malmsteen's Rising Force (tongue firmly in cheek!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL5tNNPKYrM&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender 4 Life Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I've had 2 Japanese guitars that i'd consider "vintage"......I have neither now, and wish I still had both ! '68 Univox Deluxe Rosewood Thinline...later called the "Coily Deluxe" all rosewood body, maple center block, maple bolt on neck, rosewood fretboard, Bigsby clone trem w/roller bridge, and "staple pole" p'ups......very unique sound. Not my actual guitar, but identical to it. '71 Electra "Tree of Life" SG oak body with extensive grapevine carving, maple bolt on neck, maple fretboard with extensive "leaf and vine" inlays done in abalone, I swapped the bridge p'up (still have it) with a DiMarzio Distortion humbucker and in the middle 3-way position the guitar sounded GREAT! This was my actual guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
