Methinks he is faking the poor engrish!

In fact, I am near certain.

Cheers,

I'm not so sure that he is faking his English. I used to work with several Japanese guitar enthusists. Though it would not be fair to stereo-type Japanese English, I found that the errors were consistant with how my friends spoke.

This is a beuatiful guitar. Notice the bookmatch look in the grain from a single board. This was definately some serious attention to detail. The neck grain looks 3-D in very tight density patterns.

The problem I have with an expensive guitar (of any maker), is if it is so rare that only a micro-portion of the population is aware of it's existance, then the value will never be as high as the price they are asking for it now.

If I were rich, I would love to try this guitar. However, I really have to wonder, if good craftsmanship is going to make this guitar SOUND like it is worth $2200 more than an Am. Std.

Just kidding.

I don`t think he speaks English like my students do. There are some mistakes that they all seem to make, my students I mean. Singular and plural, the L and R sounds, and grammatical errors that are very common. My money says he`s faking.
