| looks like a modern day interpretation of the Nakao series... probably built as a limited run for the Japanese distributor as they did then.
that Legend looks great! and I'm not a Koa fan.
the outlined Abalone epi's on the Elite are interesting. and the way they do the new inlay work I'm sure it's seamless
those are nice.

Man, those are purdy! Is that solid koa, or a lam? Scratch that, gotta be solid for the 2078/9. |

Location: CT | The top one looks nice... IMO the Custom Legend NEEDS the old larger inlays.. the small ones don't do it for me.
The bottom one would look better (to me) if it had the multi colored wood epaulettes with the abalone trim. The abalone by itself is a bit boring.
Koa LOOKS nice. Ive never played one, but reviews point to it as a darker (duller?) top wood. Make mine a nice tight grained spruce. |

Location: south east Michigan | Ahhh yes... wide skunk stripes are the best.
The narrow design is acceptable only when the center stripe is ebony.
Then again, a narrow skunk stripe is always better than none. |

| oooops sorry Tup, I was referring to the new guitars pictured, and realize the N768/N769 was built as an exclusive for the Japan dist.
and I do sometimes resemble the oxy(well-bleached)moron(mind).... ;)
most days are good, this is one of them.
