Plus, one pickup setting seems to always sound better than the others (to me, usually the neck pickup). I saw it and had to have it.īut, like pretty much every three or four pickup guitar I’ve ever owned, it was a pain to play live. It was a creamy white like Fender’s Olympic White, the pickups were all shiny chrome, and it had a pretty cool whammy bar with a chrome bridge cover. Which struck me as strange, at best…why, after all, would you need to turn your guitar “off” unless you were doing that cool Morse-code deet-deet-deet noise at the end of the Clash’s “London Calling.” Wait, I may have answered my own question.īut back to the Kawai.

Slider switches for each of the 4 pickups, plus one of ON/OFF. Many of them have been beautiful – for instance, a white 4 pickup Kawai model. Yet, as I look at the keepers in my collection, I’ve only kept one guitar with more than four knobs, and none with more than two pickups. Old ones, new ones, new ones made to look like old ones (not those stupid “relic-ed” ones, though…I’m an idiot, but I’m not stupid). I’ve bought several multi-pickup guitars. Judging by many of my last few years guitar purchases (on Ebay and elsewhere), I’m the kind of a person who seems to think he’s the kind of a person who likes guitars with a lot of knobs and switches. One of my favorite answers ever to that was one a guy wrote that read: “He was the kind of a person who wished he was the kind of a person who liked to walk on the beach.” It’s one that starts, “he/she was the kind of a person who…” and then fill in the blank. Once, I was teaching a writing workshop and we were doing a character exercise.
