Thread Name: Kasuga Guitar
Subject: RE: Kasuga Guitar
Based on the existing G 310 nylon string, I decided to become a collector of acoustic Kasugas. It seems owning two would be enough to earn a collector status. I wanted to buy a steel string Kasuga dreadnaught, but that proved to be much harder than I thought.

Finally I found one for sale in German eBay. Looks like Kasugas are relatively common there since there is one or two often for sale in their eBay. This guitar is Kasuga D-212 apparently from late 70's. It has solid spruce top, mahogany sides and back. Very much like a hybrid of Martin D-18 and D-21. No scratches, but dusty and needed a standard overhaul.

Nice bell like sound, awesome sustain, a real value for money guitar.
