My Kawais
 
Introduction:  Mark first contacted me last month ... his photos were certainly worth waiting for.  He has a very (very) impressive collection of Kawai guitars.
 
The guitar:  Not one, but 3 Kawai guitars.  2 of the 3 are easily identifiable, but I have no idea what the third one is.
 
The story:   In Mark's own words:
 
hallo.. my name is mark . i am from switzerland and my english is not so well..
i ' ve been playing guitar for 18 years with a few breaks between. i played stratocaster for a long time, then i bought a kawai guitar (dont know the model name / with schaller humbucker and floyd rose) for 250 swiss francs..wouw this kawai sounds incredible.. i still like fender but kawai seems to had a very good quality..in the last year i also bought an aquarius custom and an MS-1000.. if you like i send you the pictures..
 
my kawai guitars:
 
kawai aquarius custom (2 humbucker, turquoise blue finish, very good condition )..i guess from 1983 - 84
 
kawai ? ( 2 schaller humbucker, floyd rose like trem. red-metallic finish, very cood condition).. i dont know the year.. maybe you can help?
 
kawai moonsault 1000 ( 2 humbucker, silverburst finish, very cood condition).. 1984
 
thank you for your time spending to kawai guitars..
 

The photos: 

 

First up, an Aquarius, in (what looks like) stunning condition ...

 

 

Secondly, Mark's Moonsault.  One day, I hope to find myself one of these.

 

And finally, the mystery guitar.  If anyone knows anything about this, please let me (and Mark!) know ...
