Not that I've ever been a 'cheerleader' for Gibson and as others here have noted, a good many you see up for sale contain the requisite phrase "headstock repair expertly done". I was gifted a Tokai Silver Star in 1982, and haven't traded it for an LP yet? <br /><br />Curious though, in your link the Moonsault is in a stand. Does it have to be modified or do owners typically hang them by the headstock? <br /><br />Marshall_Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813579074330812057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-68198694017493701572013-01-08T13:30:18.917+00:002013-01-08T13:30:18.917+00:00You'd think so, wouldn't you, but I actual...You'd think so, wouldn't you, but I actually prefer the blue and silverburst versions. I think the body binding makes them look all the more classy.

Wh..."But comparing these to LP's..?"<br /><br />Whyever not? Gibson do not have the monopoly on quality / playability. Personally speaking, given the choice between a Gibson Les Paul and a Kawai Moonsault, the Kawai would win every time.<br /><br />This article also seems to agree on the top quality issue (you'll need to copy & paste the URL): http://www.myrareguitars.com/bcm-kawai-moonsault-guitar<br /><br />Gavin Lloyd Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10937598384359522498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-52097063050767242112013-01-07T16:53:44.039+00:002013-01-07T16:53:44.039+00:00Not really an 'environmentalist' by any me...Not really an 'environmentalist' by any measure but often wondered why most entry-level guitars weren't constructed of acrylics? With all the import bans on "exotic hardwoods" and whatnot ( and the way kids abuse instruments to begin with ) why waste what's left on someone not likely to get past G, C & D and then spend an eternity under a bed? Just a thought.<br /><br />Kawai has never mad a bad instrument to my understanding and any time you're in a museum, mall or gallery their pianos are nothing short of works of art. Just breathtaking. Their acoustics, top notch. But comparing these to LP's..? I'd like to play one before passing judgement. Love the Phases of the Moon inlays!
