Thread Name: Tech: Suzuki Three 'S' Guitars
Subject: RE: Tech: Suzuki Three 'S' Guitars
Aah've got one that aah bought in 1976 - Aah owny went in forra set of strings. Aah paid £126

It's been a delight everytime aah've picked it up - Ye wadn't knaah it wasn't a solid body.

Aah sold it once when aah gave up music but luckily the bloke aah selt it to lerruz buy it back.

Aah've been offered £400 for it but wadn't part wiv it again!

It's never had a refret and sings like it did on the first day aah bought it.

Aa've only ever seen two others - One wez a mate on board HMS Endurance and the other belonged to a bloke who was on the local folk circuit roond Portsmouth - aah offered him silly money AND a Takamine guitar with aall the electronic wizardry but he wadn't part wiv it.

Aah've seen and played other Suzuki Guitars (not 3S's) and they just divven't match up for sound and playability

Mebbe Suzuki were using identical bracing etc as the D28 it wez modelled on and MArtin threatened to sue! Anyway they divvent make them like that nee mair.

If ye decide ye divvent like it, PM uz will ye - Aah'd still love te hev a matching pair!
