HAY WAGON CATALOG

I want to stubbornly protect the old ones. Because I make a guitar with a good attitude.

FADED JEANS, FADED BANDANA

About one piece of Bandana ... There is a song called "Colored love", but it's a virtue for this kind of thing-I don't want to get it. The only things that are straightforward to post are blue jeans and bandana. Indigo Plou feels like a friend of mine who has traveled a long time with jeans that were about to become faded blue. Bandana, which seems to have a history of its own life, is a versatile handkerchief with a 0 cm to 0 ton angle. The color is usually dark blue or red. It doesn't look good in other colors. Used for everything as a cowboy essential. I definitely want one. In Marilyn Monroe's youthful photos, this bandana was used instead of jeans belt. It is natural to wipe your hands and face, wrap things, wrap them in a sling, change the neckerchief, tie the four corners and wrap them around your neck to protect against the cold and sweat, and to prevent sandstorms and dust. It can also be used as a triangular cloth in case of injury. If you use this bandana as well, the color will loosen and it will feel good.

SMOKIN' WHILE PICKIN'

It is a big problem whether to wind or cut off the end of the guitar string. Specialist country-It seems that the sound has nothing to do with cutting or winding. It's a matter of hobby whether to take a flicker. If you play the guitar while smoking a cigarette, you will have trouble with the procedure. Sheng S who made a burnt koge by sucking it on the edge of the desk. The best way to prevent this is to cut off the 4th string, leaving about 2 cm at the end, and put a cigarette here. Depending on the person, there is a gap between the head and the 6th string on the nut side. In short, the ashtray is near and there is no national view, but it is very convenient in the field.

STATES' SONG

Schools have school songs, companies have company talks, Tokyo has metropolitan songs, and each prefecture has prefectural songs. If there is a big difference between Japan and the United States, it would be the familiarity of the state song. It's quite flexible for the selection criteria. First, there may be people who can sing the songs of the prefecture in which they live, but among the American state songs, the well-known RS Tennessee state song "Tennessee Waltz" and Oklahoma state song "Tennessee Waltz" with "Oklahoma" is a famous Lost Love-song (lost love song) and the theme of "Oklah P" times W musical. Toroco Hetama "Swanee River" The Kentucky state song is "Nostalgic Kentucky's Home", both of which use Foster's masterpieces. Texas uses the Texas Ranger's troupe "The Eyes of Texas," which uses the melody of "Railway Work." Kansas is said to be a cowboy's hymn, "Home on the Range". PS ° If Japan had such a song, it would be easy to get close to orJprJ.

COOKIN'

In reality, men should be better at cooking than women, and they just don't do it because it's annoying. BST is a plus rock, but BLT sandwiches are perfect for both country boys and city boys. What you need to prepare is B bacon, L lettuce, T tomato and bread. B is crispy, L is torn by hand, and T is thinly sliced. Bread is better toasted. Just put the BLT in the bread. If you apply the oil that makes B strange to the bread, you don't even need butter.

HARD DRINKIN' BOURBON

If you don't feel like drinking any kind of liquor that hits your throat, you want to drink bourbon. As some companies say, bourbon creates "wilderness in your heart" and in your chest. It also burns wild flames. Bourbon is an old American liquor invented by Rev. Elia in 1789 as a drug for angina, gastric dysfunction, and kidney disease. Many people still believe this. I'm from Bourbon County, Kenucky. The Bourbon County Bonn, which is said to have been the King of Bourbon in his homeland by French immigrants, is a variety of bourbon countabons, and the colorful labels are also fun. Bonn's name is one.

There are many surprising wandering songs in American songs. John Denver thinks of West: Bate S country road. Joe and Si H Sue decide to return to Omaha in Nebraska. At the bottom of the hearts of men wandering all over the United States, there is always a twin called home. The words of the movie "The Vanishing Point" Kowalski isn't wandering around with his guitar in his chest, with his hometown and songs in his heart, to the modern-day Lonesome Cowboys who may have lost sight of his hometown.

The map of America is a map of wanderers. The size of America depicted there does not make people sick. It's wide enough to invite you to go somewhere. People roamed America. At one time, chasing a cow to push the western frontier to the Pacific coast. Also, at one point, while being chased by people. And now, as if trying to expand my heart ...

HW-50 Front plate: Spruce veneer / back plate, side plate, fingerboard: Rosewood / Neck: Nato / Tsurumaki: Rohtomatic (nickel) ¥ 50,000

HW-40 Front plate: Spruce / Back plate, scratches, Fingerboard: Rosewood / Neck: Nato / Tsurumaki: Rohtomatic (nickel) ¥ 40,000

HW-30 Front plate: Spruce / Back plate, Side plate, Fingerboard: Rosewood / Neck: Nato / Tsurumaki: Rohtomatic (chrome) ¥ 30,000

Easiest to use the power of the "Hay Wagon" The three guitars from HW-30 to HW-50 show the power of the "Hay Wagon" guitar series without any regrets. What's more, it's a price that's easily sought after as a second guitar.

For HW-30 and 40, the front plate is made of spruce plywood, which is designed to shed a strong single spear and make it sound well. All position marks are horses.

HW-40 and 50 are new models that can finely adjust the hardness of the Tsurumaki.

HW-50 uses a thick veneer spruce plate for the front plate. It was born from a stubborn attitude of making good sounds as you play. Only the horse mark is embedded in the heads of HW-30 to HW-50.

Every time I say "goodbye" it is a bit of a death," said Philippe Lowe. Of course, Raymond: Chandler's line in "The Long Goodbye." I don't really understand the meaning of this word. Private detective Philip Marlowe finds a long black hair on the bed where the woman left. He murmured as if he had swallowed lead. "French people say good things at this time. Saying goodbye to s0 is a mother who dies a little." If so, farewell is Rita from that life

So I wonder if only saying "so goodbye" is dead. If this says, "Kiyo Nara mnS'I'm going to die a little," I'm convinced at the same time as the response to the bottom of my chest. Gimlet is said to be a "farewell liquor". "Long farewell" was written in Marlow's best friend Terry's letter asking him to drink Gimlet for himself. Marlow put a cigarette on his memory and had coffee. As soon as it springs and the bar opens, order Gimlet. Gimlet is a sweet liquor. A hard-boiled novel whose sweetness that remains on the tongue may be suitable for farewell can be said to be a farewell novel. Because a man hides his sentiment and has a vulnerable and gentle heart, he protects himself with a firm ruthless setting. Like a hard boiled egg.

"Farewell" rather than "Goodbye" ... If you translate "good buy" as "goodbye", you have no choice but to translate "fair well" as "farewell". One of Bob Dylan's songs is "Don't do it." There are so many songs that break up with a woman, but this song is strangely memorable. The original title is "It's okay. Don't think again." "I don't sit down and think about it. If you don't know now, there's nothing you can do about it. You'll see me leave by the window in the morning when the chicken tells the clock. Because of you, I'm leaving, it's okay, I can't help but be kind to me even if I never think about it again. I'm still hoping. I wonder if you can change my decision and say or do something that will keep me here. But anyway, we didn't talk enough, right? I'll do it again ~ S "P.

It may seem scary, but no matter how many men you have, you have one or two dreams. It is a creature called a woman who tames the ridiculous dream in the ship of daily life. A man who feels pain in being tamed tells a woman "goodbye". The man of this song wanders while thinking about this. He loved children, not women. He gave his heart, but he wanted a soul. And "Good Buy "is too good for you. That's why I say "NH Twell". " "Goodbye" is a word that comes from "God be with You", that is, "Along with the Gods". After all it is too good.


HW-100 Front plate: Spruce veneer / back plate, side plate: Jacaranda / fingerboard: edible ebony / neck: mahogany Tsurumaki: Grover (chrome) ¥ 100,000

HW-80 Front plate: Spruce veneer / back slope, side plate, fingerboard: Rosewood / Neck: Mahogany / Tsurumaki: Grover (chrome) ¥ 80,000

HW-60 Front plate: Spruce veneer / back plate, side plate, fingerboard: Rosewood / Neck: Mahogany / Tsurumaki: Rohtomatic (gold) ¥ 60,000

The word for tomorrow is "goodbye", not the distinction to the past. Yes ... "Goodbye" is the starting word ...

A good guitar, if the truth is that it looks good, the attitude of stubbornly following it even if it is old is what makes a good guitar in the end. Chin-shaped dreadlocks (Ikari shoulder. I went with the powerful tone produced by the shape next. Hhw: 80's ponsion and ig-0's body edge (photo 2). HW-100 is The back plate is the same as the Martin DS, * Three: Piece. (The photo body kitge uses a squishy helicopter (rear shape) pattern. The bed is a hay wagon and a horse mark.

EXIT

It will disappear soon. He was such a good guy. He knows that place. For Harry, the death of his best friend is just one bourbon. I can't help feeling sentimental forever. We know that if we don't protect our hearts with hard-boiled eggs, it will be useless. It would be nice if the word "goodbye" could be thrown unilaterally from here. It is quite possible that this is not the case. There may be times when you have to say something like a catcher, or something you don't want to say, reluctantly, really reluctantly. What would you do in such a case? This is already deep and memorable. If you have a favorite song, listen to it thoroughly at that time. If you can play the guitar, you can make some songs. If it's your own precious guitar, and if the farewell is really important to you, you can scratch it to make memories. The songs I listened to thoroughly and the small scratches remind me of the taste of "goodbye" at that time. Memories are something that responds to your heart every time you remember. If it's hard, I have no choice but to sing in a small voice, "Kiyo Nara Triangle, Come Again, Square ...".

"FARE THEE WELL" OR "GOOD BYE"

One of the most unforgettable ways to drink when you break up with your best friend is the killing of his best friend's inspector, who would be the TV movie "Harry 0" where David Janssen became a private detective Howell. Harry pursues the criminal only for his friends, not for Hosai. After the incident, he comes alone to a seaside bar and buys only one bourbon. Then he tells the bartender, "If anyone remembers him, buy this liquor." The bartender suspiciously says this. "Bourbon, one is scarce. It's gone soon." "If you leave SS, I'll forget about him too." Harry hates it, but the bartender knows it. There are a lot of people who miss "Ai". Something like a bourbon

HAY WAGON

These four guitars really show the spirit of the Hay Wagon HW series guitars. Enclosed in a quiet and quiet image, "The powerful power of the HW-120. The HW-120 has the same design as the Martin D-28, and it can be said that it is a unique guitar in this series. The HW-150 is a high-end development advantage of the HW-100. The HW-200 and 250 are great guitars that recreate the luxury and splendor of the Martin D-45. The decoration of the filling will surely evoke a deep sense of satisfaction. The position mark is a combination of snowflakes and diamonds.

Fascinating to see the country I live in through the eyes of Japanese marketers.

Seems like a romantic mix of food, bourbon, women, and honky tonk.

Another HW 30. This one is in rough shape (top & neck warps, etc.). Just documenting the model.

Description:

This guitar is a guitar made by Tokai Gakki sold by Prima Musical Instruments in 1977, and it is a very rare Japan vintage guitar with a production period of only 2 years.

The specs are all plywood of spruce and rosewood.
The string length is 640 mm and the nut width is 42 mm, which makes you feel this era.

The inlay of the horse running on the head is a gem that brings out elegance.

The condition is suitable for the age and is not noticeable from a distance, but there are dents, scratches, dents, etc. on the whole.
In addition, there is a big scratch on the neck heel, but there is no problem with playability.
There is a float on the top, but there is no peeling or cracking of the bridge.
The neck is slightly warped, the string height is about 3 mm on the 6th string side, 2.6 mm on the 1st string side, and more than 90% of the frets remain.

This is the one I would definitely recommend to those who like Japan Vintage.

This seems to be just like Cat's Eyes altough I have found earlier Wagons than 1975 year made ones. On the opposite Cat's Eyes started back in 1975 with various levels and specs from low entry-level to fantastic specsclose to Martin replicas. I have discovered early CE-1000s and up are hide glued fretboards to the neck and that is great news, if they do so they are trying to replicated vintage specs.
 
I have never seen one in person. I live in the US and we just don't see them unless they are for sale in Japan and shipping internationally.

Do you know which Cat's Eyes and HWs are solid back & side construction?
