I heard the news the other day that Mr. Duane Eddy passed away.
I've always loved his music. Although I cannot play a guitar very well, I wanted to do something to pay my respects from Hokkaido.

Recently I happened to get the Carvin electric guitar called CM-95B. It is a Les Paul shaped guitar made in 1975 featuring great AP-6 single coil pickups and a Bigsby tailpiece. The sound is unbelieva ...

I have read somewhere that the American (Capital?) record company didnt like the Japanese title, so they chose somewhat cathy Japanese word Sukiyaki. They misspelled as Sukiyaka on the record label th ...

Please do not forget another Japanese tune that Roy recorded titled HANA. Those Roys versions of Sukiyaki and Hana are superb, and are as great as originals in my opinion. Hana was originally recorded ...

Wow! Cool music! Mr. Sugino seems to have been playing lap steel as professional since late 70s. I will post here again if I hear from him regarding his CD.

I think the steel on ebay Mr. Fernandez mentioned is Arai Diamond (Aria Pro) made in Japan possibly during 60s. They no longer make any steels. Anyway, I am trying to get some information from Fender ...

I too believe it is a Fender Japan steel, but is much more expensive than they sell in Japan. DLX8 should be more or less $1400 in Japan. DLX6 should be $200 cheaper than DLX8. The photo below is Fend ...
