Description

 Kasuga

KF-840 Acoustic Guitar

Made in Japan, 1972

38years old vintage from Kasuga, Kasuga was small company that made guitars for Big brands. here is some history from search.  

Kasuga was established in 1935 in Nagoya by Miki Bukichi. Kasuga made guitars, banjos, mandolins, violins and ukeleles. Kasuga started their own brand of guitars in the 1960's and in the 1970's made the Heerby and Ganson brands and partnered with Roland on a guitar synth. Kasuga and Tokai made Conrad guitars in the 1970s.

In the 1980's/1990's they made guitars for Yamaha, Burny/Fernandes and the early Navigators.

Kasuga apparently made some Washburn models around 1988 or so with a serial number starting with a K and they might have also made some Jackson and BC Rich guitars.

They also did BC Rich type copies for the Japanese market with a K on the headstock instead of a B.

Kasuga went out of business in the mid 1990's.  [Source: Tokai forum ]

As you see, this is very good quality guitar. I think the head stock is Brazilian Rosewood, top is spruce,back & side is Indian Rosewood.and looks like All Solid Construction. but not sure. You can judge it. Beautiful grains, the finger board decorated with big MOP inlay. the Pick guard has 'K' from their brand name 'KASUGA'. looks great too. I had many old vintage guitars from this age.(like Yamaha FG-180 RED LABEL etc).but this is best condition among them. it has normal wares from use, but just cosmetic issues. the only thing I have to mention about is, the bridge looks reglued at some point, very tiny little lifted,but stable. no more lift. the action is sort of high, but very playable, It has adjustable bridge saddle,and trust rod,so you can adjust for your play style. restrung just 2days ago. so you don't have to do it again. overall great vintage condition. has amazing look & vintage sound. feel free to ask your question. thank you.
