Used, in very good condition - Malinosky Kawai New/Old Dano style Malinoski Electric Guitar. This is a very well made and nice playing guitar from Malinoski!
It is in nearly new shape, recently purchased from the builder,
here is his description:
"This guitar is constructed from an early 70s Kawai neck and a new Dano-style body I made to match the original Kawai body shape.
When I received this guitar husk it had a normal Japanese neck with a cracked head but of good construction and a woefully undersized body that was less than 12” wide and just over an inch thick. The neck I fixed but the body was useless, so, I scaled up the original shape to a normal size and recreated the body in the Dano construction style as a hardboard / wood semi-hollow body, and finished it with poly saturated exotic paper. The result is exceptional.
The neck is solid Philippine mahogany with the original clear polyester removed in favor of satin Danish oil, a perfectly functioning trussrod and nice Philippine mahogany fretboard. I replaced the broken side of the head with Douglas fir, then gave it a fresh 12” radius, new medium frets and added a new set of Strat-style tuners. It is a typical 24-1/2" scale and the carve is a very normal medium C that is extremely comfortable. I made a custom aluminum Dano-style bridge to match that works perfectly - the action is low, fast, easy and accurate.
The pickups are my Type13SC silver foil single coils with a true 60s sound, and they really come alive in this semi-hollow body
This rat rod mashup is a vintage neck on a new guitar easy to pay, it sounds great and it is beautiful to look at!"
Minor signs of cosmetic wear and tear (see photo series for detail). Weighs 5 lbs 10 oz.
