Hello all. My guitar is a KASUGA CONRAD, and an exhibition model at that.It is very rare. Apparently, they only made a few, and they didn't sell very well because they were simply too expensive. Beautifully made it is. I took it round to John Pearse when he was still living in Turnpike Lane, when I first got it, and he told me that it has a Natoh wood neck - a rare, very hard wood that will never warp, and doesn't need any laminations. It had a Brazilian rosewood body, and the mother of pearl inlay is real bits of mother of pearl, not the usual plastic strip. John really drooled over it - and him a Martin afficionado too. So, I hope that's answered the enquiry. I've never heard of a Damion or a Tama before, let alone had one. I did swap my old J45 Gibson for it by the way. Best deal I ever made.
