Heerby Excel Model: Excellent type-1000 Early 80’s - Sunburst

Made in Japan by Kasuga (the same factory that built the earlier Navigator guitars) Heerby was Kasugas own top of the line brand. 

I really like this guitar, the neck is nice and slim and it has low vintage style frets that are in good condition, that in combination with a really good straight neck, makes it so you can have really slick action. 

The three piece zen ash body has a beautiful burst and the maple neck with maple cap fretboard, has a large 70’s style headstock. The guitar has a well balanced acoustic tone and is fast and responsive. 

It appears to be an all original. The pickups sound glassy and bell-like and you can really work the 3-way pickup switch with the volume and tone controls, to get a lot of nuances out of them. 

Apart from the little nick on the front of the body, the guitar is in really good condition with just minor dents.
