A Man from Switzland gave me a mail with some pictures of this beautiful and amazing great guitar.
He said that this guitar has belonged to the guitarist of a Famous Jazz Sextet in Swiss, Hazy Osterwald Sextet --
Now, in Japan, The reordings of the group has been becoming popular in the Japanese club oriented POP-JAZZ scene --.
According to the book "Electro-Gitarren, Made In Germany", The Wood used for The SHADOW Violin Guitar was usually MAHOGANY (like above examples), but in a
few instruments MAPLE". This is the one of the MAPLE example.
The body is Solid 2-pieces (bookmatsched at Center) very flamy maple wood.
Also the neck was made with 2 piece maple woods. Beautiful Clear finishes made the flame of woods more attractive.
The parts-specks, electric circuits, machine heads are same as above Mahogany samples.
Guessing from these pictures, The Weight seems to be very heavy..... right?
