The Kanjicaster: Whitewash Japanese Dragon Guitar

Description

The Kanjicaster is now available for pre-order
The Kanjicaster is a one of a kind instrument. Inspired by Japanese art, The Kanjicaster was treated using Shou Sugi Ban (charred wood preservation method developed in 18th century Japan). It was then painted in a whitewash finish, in such a way that the charred wood is shown through the paint.

The neck is of Japan import, with the beautiful Abalone Dragon inlay done by Japanese artisans.
