East Meets West


A little while ago I designed a guitar called “The Hound Dog”. This was my first attempt at fusing ‘60s Japanese design with Mainstream Americana! My second attempt is something a little more experimental, alternative and adventurous. "Aiko" or “The Love Child”, as I have called her, is my retro reflection on the Yamaha SG-2 and SG-3, a forgotten Japanese classic from the mid 1960s. If any manufacturer is reading this page and is thinking about producing something different, this concept could be the guitar you have been looking for. As always, thank you for your time and support. SR
