Simply amazing guitar. Very light & easy to play. Very dynamic.

Wow, so glad you own one. I was about to have Taku make me one when the tragedy occurred. I'm very glad you have one.

That was a long time ago. Did you order a Version R?

I really enjoyed talking on the phone with Taku. He liked to talk a lot. He had many great ideas searching great tone. I always talked about more vintage amps. Once he learned about that... later he had a several vintage Fender combos, clean vibroverb amp and Two-Rock etc.

Thanks so much! It's very special guitar. You can see more photos on my Facebook page.

Hi Jim,

Thanks so much for your kind words. When I make some example for my private lesson students. I try to put some idea into short length like 1-2 minutes. This way, it's easier to lift notes & work on and apply to music.

A lot of my students copy this one a lot too.

thanks for posting, Tomo. Playing and tone are perfect. Do you prefer that guitar to your strat types, or is it horses for courses?

+1

But the magic is your hands...And I've seen both you play...NAMM and LA AMP SHOW (Les, RedPlate) ... and it is true. Awesome tool for your magic.

Saw one of yours ,Les , at the Robben Ford clinic at Gelb a few years back. I think you had a story about it but I don't remember..

You're welcome! Thanks so much for your kind words.

This guitar is really special sensitive guitar. I love Strat because it won't break easily.
