Re: Hikari guitar

: :I have a WG 81. I bought it 17 or 18 years ago from a guy at a yard sale for 25 bucks. He had bought it about 13 or 14 years before that for his wife when they were in Hawaii. She didn't play it so he took off the strings and put in the box in a closet until I found it. I have recently replaced the tuners and bridge, etc. Mine has a very powerful tone to it and I am having a hard time finding anything that will replicate its sound. Not the highest quality guitar I have ever had, but it is the only guitar I still have from when I was a kid. All my other stuff is new. Good to see that someone else has one.
: : : The only thing close to the Hikari name I can find with Takamine is Hidari. Don't know if that is just translations or something else that changed it or if it is just coincidence.

: : Gordon,
: : I have a Hikari H500 that I bought from the C. Bruno and Sons sales rep about 33 years ago. Yours and mine are the only ones I know of. It's been many years, but my recollection is that they were built as prototypes and were never put into production because they couldn't get enough orders from music stores. Hikari built prototypes for Takamine. Mine is a 19th century style guitar. Can you tell me a little about yours?
