- Japanese-made Lew Chase / Azumi Bass With Hidden Pickup System
guitarz.blogspot.com: I freely admit that I know nothing about this Lew Chase / Azumi Bass other than the French eBay seller tells us that it is Japanese-made and dates from 1975. The design is reminiscent of the Gibson Grabber and Ripper basses from...
- Taylor Classic Sb1-x Solid Body
guitarz.blogspot.com I love crazy guitars with original designs and creative spirit, but I also enjoy no-nonsense simple ones like this Taylor Classic SB1-X with its sober but very elegant line and finish (transparent white is one of my favorite, look...

- 1981 Yamaha Sc-600 With Glossy Transparent Finish
guitarz.blogspot.com So far I didn't like Yamaha's SC series that felt no more than a downgrade version of the great SGV, but the glossy transparent lack on a subtly figured mahogany body and maple/manhogany neck-through is sumptuous and makes...

Seiwa Jazzman - Not many of these about? I have put out various enquiries about this and still know very little about it. Names offered for similar instruments are Azumi and Chushin Gakki (Cushin) and in Canada, Onyx. Onyx I have had it for...

Azumi Nanyo subtly pointy guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com
Azumi is a very obscure Japanese guitar company, once I've written that they were (most likely) made in the Chushin Gakki factory, I've exhausted all I know about it... But looking at the sober design of this Azumi Nanyo, the neck-through-body construction and the active dual blades humbuckers, I would say it's one of these pre-metal no-nonsense guitars from the 1980s and probably a good guitar.
I love its pointy symmetrical double cutaway, better than both the Gibson and Yamaha SGs, and its transparent black finish. When everybody is all about either super classic vintage guitars or bizarre ones, I have a soft spot for these MIJ almost vintage models - and this is one of the best I've ever seen...
