Caramel's Guitar Kitchen is a made in Japan original handmade guitar brand by a craftsman living in Fukuoka. It has an eye-catching unique design, a body finished with nitrocellulose lacquer that imitates the 1950s and 1960s, and TV-Jones pickups. The materials and designs are all chosen by a single craftsman and carefully incorporated in every detail. Both the warmth and sharpness of tone is unparalleled. It’s somehow nostalgic, but it’s totally original. -Handmade one by one and carefully finished by the luthier. -Nitrocellulose lacquer coating. It is carefully finished over time. -The nitrocellulose paint lends itself to creating it’s own natural patina, not the fake “relicing” of so many mass produced guitars. Your guitar will develop its own honest weathering over time. -The original checkered stitch painting creates an eye-catching design. -Equipped with TV-Jones pickups that capture that vintage sound. -Uses Gotoh tuners and Graph Tech’s artificial ivory TUSQ nuts. -Push-pull-pots allow a variety of sounds by coil tapping. <<STORY>> A pride of made in Japan. The feelings of the design. Takeshi Katada In 1981, at the age of 17, Takeshi went to Tokyo to be an action star. He aimed to be an actor while working several jobs. He worked part-time in a bakery, served soba in a restaurant , and worked at an okonomiyaki shop, However, he changed direction, and decided to become a professional musician. He was taken by the beauty and romance of the guitar. While shopping for a guitar in Ochanomizu, he looked at a guitar for sale and said to himself, “I can make that myself!” With the last of his money, he bought the individual parts the next day and assembled them. He learned how to make guitars before even learning how to play one. After developing some skill on the guitar, he formed a band. They got their first gig, but the band dissolved immediately afterwards. He went back to mundane work at a soy sauce ramen shop and pizzeria in a hotel in Koenji. Later, he opened a bar and got married, but neither lasted long, and at 48, he came back to his hometown alone. An opportunity to run an overseas restaurant didn’t pan out, so he worked part-time in a factory to make sweets for a convenience store. Still the shock he received in Ochanomizu was unforgettable, and he never stopped making guitars for the next 2 generations. He continued having only this thought; he wanted to make a guitar which could be found nowhere else in the world. So he continued to refine his skills as a guitar maker and moved his base of operations to Fukuoka where he now finishes one guitar at a time from his original designs with love and care. At the age of 56 he began selling his instruments full-time and has been a professional luthier since 2020. Ellans Music Co., Ltd.
