Widely regarded as one of the most significant British electric guitars of the 1960s, the Marvin model was developed in collaboration with Hank B.

Their master never ventured into guitar making, but the apprenticed Nakade brothers did. They also went to Spain to study guitar making from the Spanish masters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNakade guitars are high quality instruments and have a big following in Japan. They were famous in the early 60’s before Masaru Kohno started building his reputation towards the end of that decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth brothers became quite famous and their instruments were highly regarded in Japan where they sold at the same prices as Masaru Kohno. Rokutaro passed away in early 1970’s. Sakazo continued his work until his death in 1993 at the age of 87. In late 1960’s \u0026amp; early 1970’s he was joined by his sons Teruaki and Toshihiko and later on by his youngest son Yukio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToshihiko Nakade instruments still command very high prices and their quality is irrefutable. Toshihiko’s grand concert guitars were only made as special orders and are super rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nakade workshops were never as big as Kohno’s facility, hence their guitars were sold outside Japan in very limited numbers. This one came in to Australia via The Sydney Spanish Guitar Centre, run by Peter Calvo. It was bought new by its one owner in1976 for AUD$1950. So it was a very expensive top end instrument back then. If you want to do the math, use inflationtool.com to see what that’s worth today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNakade guitars are world class instruments of the highest calibre. They feature the finest materials expected in a top class concert guitar, including old growth Indian rosewood back and sides with breathtaking grain, a fine master grade Hokkaido spruce top, ebony fingerboard, rosewood bridge, quality tuners, intricate bindings, purfling and rosette. It is a full size concert guitar with a 660 mm scale length and 52 mm width at the nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe workmanship and attention to detail is comparable with the highest quality Spanish made instruments.

A few light marks on the back and a small indentation on the back of the neck. The top is remarkably clean, with a tiny mark behind the high E string. No structural issues.

But while this is testament to the road-worthy quality of the guitars Takamine makes, it is also a kind of typecasting that somehow implies that the guitars are workhorses rather than thoroughbreds, built on a production line rather than crafted by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut back in the 70s \u0026amp; 80s this was certainly not the case.

Perhaps more than any other modern luthier, the Japanese firm blazed a trail for the electro-acoustic artform, while luring a starburst of disparate performers ranging from Bruce Springsteen to Dave Stewart of Eurythmics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut perhaps the era’s most pivotal development was the 1988 arrival of Makoto Terasaki - the master luthier and creative whirlwind who swept through Takamine with opinions that tweaked the nose of conventional industry wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Some users want all-solid wood acoustic guitars,” he said with regard to his refreshing stance on timbers, “especially on high-value instruments, but Jimmy D’Aquisto wrote that laminate is better than solid wood for sides and I agree with his opinion. We can make laminate sides harder than a solid side, and thinner. When I design guitars for the professional musician, in most cases I use laminate sides.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThat is the case with this classic EF 360 SC Taka from 1988.

In 1969, Martin discontinued the use of Brazilian rosewood in favour of Indian rosewood, and since then the company has used Brazilian only for it’s occasional limited-edition series, as have other guitar makers.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 1992, Brazilian rosewood was added to the CITES treaty (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) banning its exportation. Now the wood can be used only if it was harvested before 1992 or from trees that have fallen naturally. That’s why production-model Brazilian rosewood guitars are rare these days, and a luthier-made Brazilian can easily set you back in the high five– or even six-figure range.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeveral years ago, Breedlove scored the world’s largest legal collection of Brazilian rosewood, which had been drying for half a century in a village outside of Madrid, Spain.

It’s just as satisfying to play six-note cowboy chords as it is to play two-note voiceings in the Freddie Green style. And thanks to the guitar’s slim C-shaped neck and low action, it feels easy to play brisk single-note lines up and down the neck—and to make them sing.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Breed Apart -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt a glance, the Journey Concert, with its non-cutaway body and herringbone purfling, looks fairly traditional. But, like all Breedlove guitars, it’s got constructional details that set it apart from other steel-strings.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe bridge does away with the customary pins in favour of slots like those on an archtop’s tailpiece. This not only makes it easier to change strings; it’s said to assist in transferring energy from the strings’ vibrations to the soundboard.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInstead of a being a consistent thickness, the Journey Concert’s top is graduated, a little ampler on the treble side than the bass.

The wiring features a lovely clear neck pickup without any capacitor dulling down the tone like the early originals. This is complemented with an “Esquire-esque” circuit around the bridge pickup. The middle switch position is the bridge pickup with the tone control, while the switch in position 3 is the bridge pickup hard wired to the output – ie bypassing the tone control. This is similar to the wiring on early Blackguard Esquires and offers great versatility in the pickup combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe result is classic Telecaster twang, spark, and sweetness.

No one’s built a guitar quite like this before.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Pioneer boasts the steel body of a 1930s Duolian straight from a Delta juke joint.

And the real sign of this guitar’s singularity? You can play the Pioneer acoustically, you can go electric, or you can opt for a blend of both – which is where the magic lies.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe RP1 features two pickups: one you can see, one you can’t. The obvious neck pickup is a Lollar P-90, a great choice for this guitar’s vibe. It captures the strings’ sound, of course – and snarls like a junkyard dog hit by lightning, offering a growl ideal for deep blues or primal rock and roll.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHidden away beneath the bridge is a Highlander piezo that picks up the unique voice of the resonator. Select just the piezo with the three-way toggle and you can play acoustic-electric, as if you were miking the cone itself. The sound is an accurate amplification, suitably raspy and soulful.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut, blend the two pickups with the aid of the Pioneer’s onboard active electronics and you get the whole deal – P-90 raucousness and that unique National resonator razor-edged voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe neck is maple with an ebony fretboard and a 25″ scale. And with its slim, comfortable profile, it’s as playable as a Les Paul, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnd that’s a good thing, because the Pioneer inspires you to do more than just slide. You can get Elmore James’ sound, certainly, and that smooth fretboard is lovely to play bottleneck on. But the neck and the pickup options will also push you to use the RP1 in ways you might not have expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith the P-90 active, you can dive into blues or rock riffs with a solid bottom-end grind. Tweak the Tone control, and you can go from bass-y to a cutting treble. In fact, the neck’s so nice, you can shred on this guitar – not something you can say about most 1930s Nationals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSwitching over mid-song or within a solo to the blend of P-90 with resonator piezo is the coolest thing.
