Dazed Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Body shape looks similar to a Carvin model too. Cant make out the logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman68 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I agree with Dazed about the body shape, but the headstock is reminiscent of 70’s Aria’s or even Kawai? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I’ve been reading @Bassassins posts enough down the years to recognise a Kawai sleekline 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 He’s got one I think- I remember having unexplained GAS for it at one point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've got one, ain't I? Slightly (reversibly) modded because the original scratchplate's a bit ugly and the parts box was a bit full: Still have all the parts to put it back to stock, should I ever flog it. Which I might. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those mods work really well. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
