I like my Antoniotsais, but...


Recommended Posts

Warning - guitar content.

 

I've got a few Antoniotsai basses and I like them - electrics aren't fantastic but my first Antoniotsai was the first 5-string that I really got on with. However, I would baulk at paying ten grand for an acoustic, no matter how pretty. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255417038511

 

Incidentally, this is my first Antoniotsai (still with me after 16 years):

 From what I've read, I think Antonio Tsai is a sort of Thai Tony Zemaitis - there's a relative handful of original Tsais in circulation, but the huge majority of fancy, pearly-inlaid 'Antonitsais' are knockoffs, or possibly made under license.

 

I've not looked into it enough to have the slightest idea which is which, but if this acoustic (and the inlay work's gorgeous) is a verified original, it may be, much like Zemaitis, the collector market does command eye-watering prices.
