I think I need to spend more time learning better technique in my playing but at least this purchase opened my eyes to Jazz great Barney Kessel. Never really payed much attention but if you "youtube" him and watch the videos he's really is great.

I'm new to this forum and these vintage Japanese axes as well. Holding the GAS at bay until I see how the first one fares. Could be in a world of trouble if it comes out well....

Thought I would drop a line to say hello. I'm originally a drummer who switched to playing guitar a few years ago and it seems I have caught the "gas" syndrome now.
I'm new to "collecting" but it seems I now have more guitars than drums (or brains maybe too!) and I like funky and unique older styled guitars. I recently picked up this "Canora" Barnie Kessel copy guitar and now I'm gassing for more vintage Japanese guitars.
This one plays great, the action is nice (a few dead spots after the 12th fret but not bad), has great sustain, pretty good tone for the single coils (a bit of feedback when you crank it - but that can be good too!), the electronics work nice and the wood and finish seem to be good quality.
Other than that I do not know much about the brand or which factory it may have come out of....it seems to be from the 60's (could be 70's) maybe someone else has more expertise in this area.
I love it so far though!
