Wow

it's made in 'ancient china' with a body i've NEVER EVER SEEN BEFORE
It's either an extremely rare guitar or theres a THIN possibiliy that its... dare i say it? fake

What the ?

yegbert · June 1st, 2006, 08:58 AM

It's an "old antique". Don't mistake it for a new antique.

Which reminds me of the sign I saw in front of an antique shop: "New antiques arriving daily."

Yes Grasshopper...and when you play this ancient guitar, you will feel the spirits of your ancestors emerge from this resonant instrument, and fill the room with the melodius strains of a song from antiquity.....hey wait a minute...that's Bowie's China Girl!

:D

It's obviously a fake.

Real Chinese antiquities are made of Jade.

Maybe the pickups are Antiquities?

I think a Japanese soldier, left it behind, when they invaded China, in the late 30's.

I think that dates from the Sen dynasty.

In ancient China they used gunpowder for soldering. Which is why it's all the more remarkable that this specimen is so clean
