These 70's beauties by
Fresher are hardly a household name in most American guitar collecting families since these were primarily made for domestic use in Japan.  Although at least some were briefly exported to the United Kingdom and the fact that examples occasionally show up, as of now there is no evidence that Fresher guitars were ever officially imported into the United States.

The Fresher story begins back in 1973 when Fresher guitars were introduced by the Kyowa Company, Ltd., of Nagoya. Kyowa set up shop in the prestigious Nagoya region and the company is still in operation today, importing Charvel/Jackson, Takamine and Dean Markley products, among others.

Translated From the Fresher catalog:

FS-331S

Features

As a guitar for beginners, he has just the right amount of unity.  Sustain's good halftones are easy to get out.  Also, when matching with an amp, using a high-output amp will extend the sound very well.  He's a guitar that's well-balanced in terms of price, quality, and everything.
