My Kawais
 
Introduction:  Another email from another Kawai owner, looking for information on his Kawai guitar ... 
 
The guitar:  A Kawai F-I-Jr, dating from 1982-1984.

 

The story:  In Stefan's own words ...

 

after several years of fruitless attempts to track down any useful source which might help me to identify my guitar, it seems I've finally made progress!  As you might know, I pretty desperate to find out more about my beloved instrument, so I am looking forward to reading your answer!

 

Anyway, I'd be pleased if you uploaded the pictures I have attached!

 

Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself ;-) :

 

I am Stefan from Hannover, Germany, and I actually found this particular guitar on an attic in Cologne approximately seven years ago and I have loved this instrument ever since. Due to my musical preferences, I replaced the original pickups with EMGs, changed the knobs and had the machine heads replaced with Sperzel Trim-Lock tuners. I love this guitar and it has never ever let me down so far. I take it out to reahearsals and gigs as much as possible since I hate putting vintage instruments into the basement...

 

To cut a long story short: I would love to see my guitar on your homepage one day & thanks a million for putting in the effort to create the homepage!

So, here are Stefan's photos of his Kawai F-I-Jr
