If you own a Kiso Suzuki guitar - congratulations on what you probably already know - that you own a well-crafted and good sounding instrument. It's a common story that when someone has G.A.S (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome) and needs to let a guitar or two go, the Suzuki is the one that stays behind and can't be replaced. There are thousands of players worldwide who would like to know more about their Kiso Suzuki guitar. Were there different divisions or contract manufacturers? I don’t know at this time. If you’ll notice, there were a few different labels. One interesting thing that stands out is the change in labels. (see the F35 scrollwork on the fretboard). But some models are lower numbers yet very ornamented, so it doesn’t seem like this always holds true. An F100 would have been 10,000 yen, an F130 would have been 13,000 yen, an W250 would have been 25,000 yen and so on. The numbering system is usually tied in with the price. Sometimes you'll find 'zero' frets installed -intonation was a problem with some acoustic models - and they generally sound great then. Kiso Suzuki guitars have very comfortable necks – and that makes them very playable.
