    While talking about "pressed" mandolins ...I’ve got one of these Kasuga’s – anybody know anything about them? This one was apparently bought in Australia in the mid 70’s

    Shops where I have taken this in, turn their noses up - but – it might be plywood, but it’s loud with a rich deep tone through constant playing.

    I’ve searched for info about Kasuga Mandolins, but have found extremely little. Is it ply or something else?

    Fatback...I can`t say anything about a Kasuga mando but I have a Kusga guitar that is as good sounding as any Martin I have played, I know that saying something but its true...The guitar player in my band used to play my "el cheapo" and let his D-35 in the case...This guitar in about 30 years old and it cost less than $100 with the case, strap and capo....I recently sold an older D-18 and kept the Kausga...I have had some fancy inlays installed on it and nobody knows what I am playing until they look at the label inside...Willie
