1990 Rockoon/Schaller Japan (by Kawai) RA-65 HSH Silhouette (Natural)

1990 Rockoon/Schaller Japan (by Kawai) RA-65 HSH Silhouette (Natural)To quote the Rockoon catalog "Rockoon is the high performance guitar created by the skilled and uncompromising craftsmanship of Kawai". These are the boutique style range from the Kawai factory (in collaboration with Schaller) that were made in Japan in the 80's and 90's. Sharing a lot of similarities with the Musicman Silhouette shape, the RA 65 features a sen body bolted to a maple neck (22 frets, 628mm scale length) and weighs just under 3kg's.

the frets are shiny and the neck is straight with a functional truss

These are high quality builds that show what the factory is capable of when they don't have to comply with the limitations of building for other brands and have the freedom to build the best guitars that they can

the EGF850 was a "Super Real" model that did a great job of replicating the 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard in terms of aesthetic

one of the most recognized basses in the world

This method opens up a much wider range of frequencies
