Hi , I'm considering buying a Kasuga 12 string, however i don't seem to find a lot information online,.... What are your thoughts on the guitar? Thanks a lot! Kind regards from Belgium, Jan
Hey there I think I have that exact model. I bought mine in Toowoomba in 1975 for $110. I was 15 and had to mow a heap of lawns for that much money. It's significantly more battered than yours, but sounds exactly the same. I played it in bands, busking. Took it backpacking with me. Still love it.
A friend gave me a 1972 Kasuga KF-460 12-string guitar with no nut or tuners. Headstock had broken off a la les paul and been re-glued . Needs a lot of work, but the body and fingerboard are in great shape for a 50 year old guitar.

I still have mine, 1972 model# KF860. I'm surprised to see one online I never met anyone who ever heard of Kasuga guitars, so cool. I bought it new when I was in High School in 72. Could you tell me if it's the same model as mine? Thanks
Nice playing and guitar! I love vintage Japanese guitars! Also play my Kasuga 6 string in my newest video (Blues) Those guitars really have a certain vibe to them that i call "soul" Also have a EL Maya EM1300 Thats a real gem 💎 Cheers brother 🍀
Wow, great video, love the sound of your guitar! Yeah, the vibe of the old Japanese acoustics is really unique, and they don’t tend to cost a fortune. The neck width and action of the Kasuga in this video would have taken me a considerable amount exercise to get the hand strength to survive playing an entire gig, though. 😂💪🏽
@@dustybuffalo9973 Thanks my friend! Yess i had the same issue with my 12 strings. Some play very hard while others play smooth haha. Gotta love the 12 string sound with the 2nd set strings a little off tune👌 Cheers

Hi Jan! The Kasuga sounds amazing as you can hear, and when I see them for sale, they’re generally pretty inexpensive. The biggest drawback is that, due to high action and a big C neck, it requires a lot of hand strength to play. If you’re a veteran acoustic player, the sound and reliability are worth the workout, but if you’re a beginner, you may want to find something easier to play. Thanks for the question!
I believe I'm tuned to drop C (CcGgCcFfAaDd) The first bit is loosely based on "Ohio" by CSNY, and the chords to the second bit are G2, Bb, C2, G, Eb, F, G
