NGD Something a wee bit different

Been looking for a beater to leave lying about it in the living room, something i dont mind the kids knocking about and made a cheeky offer on this, arrived today, its THIN !! and i mean really thin, just unwrapped it at work and had a small play unplugged in the server room. plays nicely, intonation is spot in, very resonant and pretty damn heavy. Tried to get some details on it and i believe its a 2009 made at Fujigen.

That's cool, doesn't look like a beater at all.

Sorry its  DBZ Imperial :-)

you might end up wanting to take more care of it than you intended to. then you'd need another beater

Cheers @sev112 ;

the bit of digging i have managed to do, according to the serial numbers this is a 2009 built in Fujigen, I have emailed dbz asking for more details but won’t hold my breathe

That IS thin. Looks like a really nice guitar.

That looks like a brilliant guitar, I would happily own that, im not aware of any DBZ being made in Japan tho I thought they were all Korea (not a bad thing!)
