New Guitar: St George/Kawai S-160

[offset59]

I've been looking for one of these for awhile and I found one that fit my needs perfectly. It's a basket case that I was free to mod.

It's been refretted with medium jumbos and the binding has been replaced. It's got a new bone nut and I was able to get the neck angle just right for standard playing. I also bypassed the switches and wired the pickups in series for that BIG Sound.

This thing is pure RAWK and I hardly ever put it down... only when I've got to eat and go to the bathroom haha. The best part is that my g/f loves it too! (she plays).

hmmm... maybe my pic is too big?

Nice job offset59, it still has a very original look with the advantages of player mods.

Here's my cousin model branded Prestige. It's a pure stock collectible without a scratch on it. Note the similarities in hardware, inlays, etc.

I'm sure you play your instrument more than I play mine, but mine does look good hanging on the wall.

thanks steve! wow, your Prestige is BEAUTIFUL!!

I've been playing my St George for hours everyday since I got it. My vintage Jazzmasters are collecting dust ATM haha
