Re: Bizarre Japanese guitars
121Nothing really bizarre to show. But this MIJ Laguna ES-175 copy seems to be pretty rare. I've only ever seen one other, when I did an extensive Google search after buying this one years ago. A luthier acquaintance way more knowledgeable than me on Japanese guitars claims this one was built at the Chushin Gakki factory, and I have no reason to doubt him. I put GFS Mean 90's in it and they sound cool.
And my four favorites, all MIJ. I guess maybe the Greco EX-800HB is kind of unusual, as the black finish Hamer-style ones don't seem to pop up too often.
