Guitar - Fender Stratocaster 1972 Reissue - Owner - Zul

Hi guys,

This is a very nice guitar owned by Zul. He bought this guitar in a guitar store in Ochanomizu, Tokyo Japan. Its a Japan Fender Stratocaster 1972 Reissue and where better to buy it than Japan itself?

The colour itself is reminisence of Yngwie's favourite "the duck" strat although without any scalloped fretboard. The cool thing about this guitar is that it is installed with USA pickups and not Japanese made pickups. Here are the specs :-



Body : Basswood
Neck: Maple Oval Type
Fingerboard: Maple
Pickups: Standard Vintage USA
Control: 1 Volume - 2 Tone - 5way switch

This is really a cool guitar.

Ochanomizu - Tokyo Japan - Guitar Wonderland

Hi guys,

I just came back from Tokyo Japan for some seminar and i managed to go to Ochanomizu to have a look for myself the guitar wonderland of Asia. A guitar friend of mine told me about this place. Ochanomizu is located near Akihabara (electrical goods wonderland of Asia) and just a station away. I stayed at Ikebukuro and took the Yamanote line to Akihabara and then changed to Sobu line to go to Ochanomizu station.



Once out of the station you can find lots and lots of guitar shops big and small. You will be spoilt for choices. There are very wide range of guitars, amplifiers, effects and others that you just simply want to try all of them.

So anyone going to Tokyo Japan must go to Ochanomizu for guitar shopping!!

Guitar - Ibanez Richie Kotzen Copy & Fender Stratocaster Japan 1962 Reissue -

Hi,
I did two project guitars on two different themes. The Ibanez is a project of mine trying to copy Richie Kotzen's Ibanez RK1 which he used during the 80s. All the guitar parts are from all over the world and assembled together. I did the graphics and then asked someone else to make a clear coat for it.

The other one is a Japan Fender Stratocaster which i only changed the neck of the guitar. Its a Fender Stratocaster 1962 Reissue and i made it to a reverse headstock. The neck is an original fender allparts replacement neck and i choose maple because it looks cool.

See Ya

This is an Ibanez RG450 LTD Edition. Its a silver metallic one and it really looks stunning. Have a look!!

The Specs:
Body : Basswood
Neck : Maple, Wizard II
Fretboard : Rosewood
Fret : 24 Jumbo
Bridge : The Edge Pro
Pickup : H-S-H, IBZ V7 (Neck), IBZ S1 (Mid), IBZ V8 (Bridge)

I havent tried my hands on this guitar yet but i can see that it should be really a cool sounding guitar and the standard IBZ pickups should sound really nice just like most of the other RG series around using the same pickup. As for playability i read reviews that this guitar is really easy and comfortable to play with. Now i gotta ask Sai to let me try this guitar!!

Guitar - Gibson Les Paul Owner - Yuri

This one is a beauty. Its a Gibson Les Paul '59 Historic Reissue, with a Brazillian rosewood fingerboard, serial no. 93145. Gibson Les Paul 59 reissue made in 2003 is the most accurate and sought after Gibson Les Paul historic series since Gibson Custom Shop made them in 1993. Available only in 683 pieces, it is the only Les Paul reissue made with period correct wood and accesories. For example, these guitars are the only ones available with brazillian rosewood fingerboard which has been banned from being used since 1960's.

Nowadays,Gibson only made the 1959 Les Paul with a less accurate fingerboard, the Indian rosewood which again was not used on the original 1959 Les Paul. The pickups are the replicas of the original PAF from the 1950's which was invented by Seth Lover and coincidentally the PAF were also the first humbucker pickups ever invented.

All components of the guitar were made using replicas of the originals from the 1959 guitars. Even the plastic volume and tone knobs were made from the correct plastic material as the originals. The body is made of eastern maple and mahagony which were obtained from the same forest where Gibson used to make the originals 1959.

So my good friend Yuri here is one lucky guy to own this magnificent guitar. I am sure if he were to auction this off it would cost not less than US$14,000 nowadays. The sound and playability of this guitar is really awesome and when you plugged it in direct to a marshall....wow! is the word that i can only describe. And when Yuri plays this Gibson its totally incredible as you can feel the connection between him and this guitar.

There's some more guitars that he owns and that will be added soon. so check this page often. see ya.
