Every Guitarist should have an acoustic or two in his/her arsenal.
I have used it for songwriting,general practice,rehersals and live performance, in most styles.
I have at times used a Stick on ceramic pickup for live gigs, thru what ever amp I decided to use for that particular venue.
With amps, I use anything from quads to combo's, fenders,marshalls,vox and some jap imitations like my Zoom/Mesia (Mesa copy, that I would never part with )
Not Noisy..
Rich full sound, such a wonderful tone, I have not found an acoustic since that can replicate it's beautiful tone and warmth.
I LOVE it....

Great Set Up...right out of the cardboard box
No Pick ups
Perfect Book Matched timberwork which has now aged superbly to an even more beautiful yellow/honeyed patina.
No manufacturing flaws at all.

I have now owned this guitar for 35 years, it has done it all.
It has stood the test of time very well so far, even my two boys who have also played it for the past ten years, love it and remark on it's tone.
The finish has been tested and bumped and scratched etc but is all OK.
All fittings are intact.
I still use it every week
Yes I would use it without backup, but that would be unprofessional to do so,......I beleive MURPHY is alive and WELL and hiding around the corner waiting to strike on those who are unprepared.
That's my motto, anyway.
Customer Support

No Opinion
I must say I have not found cause to contact Kasuga to date,
I've noticed that This seems to be a relatively RARE guitar model.
I have not needed any repairs.
I think the warranty was the usual 12 months.
Overall Rating

No Opinion
I am now 58 years young.
I have been playing since around 1966.
I own a 1978 USA fender Standard Strat, A 2003 Gibson Les Paul Custom " Black Beauty" an Ovation " "Artist"/ Baladeer Acoustic an Ibanez Acoustic a Fender 12 string Acoustic, a Takameni Acoustic, a fender Precision Bass, etc etc , in total 14 guitars, 4 amps a Roland w30 sinth/sequencer keyboard and numerous recorders.
If It were stolen, I doubt that I could replace it.
I tried too many to list...and this was it.
I wish it had a brother...
I think,...after all my years in the game,....It is a rare experience to find the instrument that you feel "at one " with,
but when you do.....I hope you realise it...
Good luck to all.
