Hall of Fame: Vintage MIJ Azumi Nanyo Electric Guitar

This guitar is a favourite in our shop. Similar to the Vantage Avengers of the same era but with a bolt on neck. The neck feels very comfortable and plays very well. The neck pickup is not original and hasn't been identified but sounds transparent and bright for a neck, the bridge is hot and has a tight midrange.

If you want a 70's/80's era Japanese guitar that's bang for buck this is an easy winner.
