I decided I should buy a Langcaster guitar from New Zealand as the owner and luthier Dutchman/New Zealander Joh Lang is retiring. Jan Akkermann from Focus has been playing a Langcaster playing with Steve Lukather on a recent Hendrix tribute tour.
I say "new" but the wood the body is made from is 35,000 year old Swamp Kauri. 23,000 years before the pyramids were built. Prehistoric.

Here is my guitar. There are pieces of amber in the resin filled in hollow in the body.


Here is the story of Langcaster guitars.

Joh Lang who I have had many emails with to buy my guitar is such a colorful character. Buying directly from him was such a pleasure. The low impedance pickups are also hand built by him and have a very strong output. They are active electronics.
