One of the leading models of
the brand in the 80s. Comfortable, fast, straight neck, frets in good
condition with some normal wear. "Superstrat" made in
Matsumoku factory.
Attention: the guitar is incomplete, missing
two fine-tuners and the vibrato rod for the famous Kahler Flyer 2330
vibrato. The cost of the missing parts is about 70€ for Europe
including shipping on Reverb.
Two solutions for the future of this
guitar: parts bank or restoration. The price is close to the only
Kahler vibrato + headstock in second hand (often over 300 euros)
minus the price of the missing parts.
The luthiery is ok: in spite
of a varnish crack towards the headstock, this part is absolutely
solid. I tried to weaken and bend the neck there, in every direction,
it's just impossible. The stiffness is normal, the whole thing shows
no structural problems. The head is complete with original oil bath
mechanics in good condition. Two screws for the handle are not
original. The guitar will be delivered with original black knobs as
shown on one pick. The electronic part is ok, selector, pickups,
potentiometers, humbucker switch on the tone potentiometer,
everything works. The high end pickup has lost some of its chrome
which does not affect the sound of course. The alder body is in good
condition, just two hits visible but discreet, the characteristic
cream colour is very nice, and the sound is in every way what you
would expect from this famous model at the time: rich, deep with
excellent sustain.
Shipping with neck dismanteled in safety packaging.
