60s Telestar Kawai Semi
Description
This is the highest specification model of the Tele-Stars. Arched top with a bound body, 5 bolt neck and two chrome pickups, this little beauty actually plays well as well as looking intriguingly different. The neck is solid beech veneers glued together to form a strong (structurally and acoustically) block which was then carved to shape.
It features the original whammy bar, fully adjustable chrome and rosewood bridge, speed knobs, "mic" switches, but best of all is the chrome switchplate, socket plate, tailpiece, whammy and pickups. There's something wonderful about 60s/70s chrome and this guitar seems to have lots of it. A great, affordable archtop guitar.
