Subject: RE: Kasuga Guitar
i also have one here... it's some sort of a gibson les paul custom copy, set-neck, with wonderful inlays (some sort of plants/leaves) all over the fretboard. you can tell this is all high-quality noble woods, no cheap-o cheap-out here!

pickups, i think, are maxon, too. all gold hardware (neck pup is normal gold cover, bridge pup is some sort of open-style with square magnets, like some of the old univox guitars, but it's original), grover-style high-quality tuners.
wonderful binding on the front/top, and it even has a rear/belly coutour for maximum comfort.

i'm usually an all-fender kinda guy (vintage jaguars and jazzmasters) but THIS is the les paul i keep and USE.
it's about 40 years old, i guess, and still 100% original... no changes needed.
you can see a pic here:

i'd love to have more info on it/these.
rock on!

Pat.
