This 1960's Kawai Prestige is a great example of the quirky, vibrant instruments from Japan's golden era of guitar exportation. This solid-body instrument perfectly captures the unique visual charm, bold contours, and distinct retro personality that players and collectors admire from mid-to-late 60s Japanese imports.
 
Equipped with its original electronics, this guitar delivers the unmistakable "garage-rock" voice that these vintage single-coil pickups are known for. It offers a punchy, raw clean tone that sounds amazing when drenched in spring reverb, and pushes into a biting lo-fi growl when paired with a vintage tube amp or overdrive. The upgraded Jazzmaster tremolo system offers smooth warble and increased tuning stability over the original tremolo.
 
Our in-house luthier has fully inspected and setup this guitar, ensuring low action and accurate intonation. It is fully functional and ready for the stage or studio! This vintage instrument shows wear consistent with its age. Please review the photos for exact cosmetic condition.
