Re: 60's Kawai Guitar

my first electric guitar (back in '65) was a kawai...what a piece of crap that was. it kinda looked like a strat - thin solid-body, double cutaway, exaggerated fender-style head, but it weighed a ton, and the neck and electronics were horrible. i don't remember what i paid for it, but it was in the range of zim-gar and other japanese brands (less than $40 new) - hell, you could get a used gretsch in excellent condition for $50 in those days.
i think i ended up burning it or smashing it (as was the style in those days - i also burned a VOX Phantom - does anyone remember those?

If nothing else I would like to know something about the company which made it. If you happen to stumble apon this and have some knowlage of the of which I speak, E-mail me.

Kawai Guitar

I also have a Kawai guitar that I received as a gift from my grandfather about 1977 or so. It is a big body acoustic with a black pickguard and some type of design on the guard. It was at least a few years old when I got and maybe older! Does anyone know anything about this guitar.

I bought a guitar like that one in the middle 60's
It cost me then $175.00 I don't know how much is it worth today, but I estimate an average of $300.00 to $700.00 depending on it's condition. I still have that guitar and plan to auction it on ebay.
