Jos in Holland

 

Introduction:  Another email contact, I think that Jos originally contacted me when he was searching for more info on his Kawai guitar and found references to Kawai on my blog.
 
The guitar:  Jos has 3 Kawais (although the earlier ones - dating from the early 1960s - are probably still branded Teisco).  In the middle of his photo is his KS-10-Jr in sunburst finish.

 

The story:  I bought my KS-10 new in 1981.  It was intended to be my spare guitar, in case my Gibson Les Paul was damaged.  But the Kawai had more personality and individuality - I've never seen anyone else playing a Kawai guitar.  As it also had all the sound and quality of the Gibson, my Les Paul Black Beauty was never loved quite as much again after I bought the Kawai!
