Marco in France
Introduction: I think that I first "met" Marco when I was googling Kawai and found his posts on a French forum discussing guitars - specifically Japanese guitars. Marco has the exact guitar that I was looking for, but as you'll read in his story, he wasn't about to sell it!
The guitar: A KS-11-XL in natural maple finish. And looking in stunningly good condition.
The story: In Marco's words ...
I think I bought my Kawai in 1978, when I was 15 years in a store Marseille (Scotto music) where a friend who had booked me (it was the one he received).
I've never bought a new guitar until 2008 because this is a super guitar. I’ve recently change the pickups by two Bill Lawrence. The sound is more dynamic.
But in 2008, I could not resist and I bought a “Hollow body RKS”. I am also very happy of this new guitar and the two guitars complement each other perfectly.
I love guitars with character.
I played in many groups when I was young. I stopped the group when I got married but I continued to play alone at home. Then a few years ago, children (3 boys) have grown and I had a new desire to play in a band.
Now I play in a group exclusively composed of teachers (It’s a coincidence) and with my wife (Laetitia). The name of the Band is “Les BRAS KC” (the broken arm in English).
We have a MySpace site:
