I'd like to extend my thanks to Mr. Mitsuo Fujii of Fuzzy steel guitars in Tokyo, a gentleman, designer and Artist of the highest quality and character.
Mitsuo San was kind enough to provide an excellent rental steel for my use at the FujiRock Festival in Japan. He even changed the set up to my Standard Emmons copedent. The guitar and the set up were perfection.
I am very grateful for his kindness and assistance.
I think everyone on this forum knows about the excellent quality of Fuzzy/Excel guitars, and I believe the instruments reflect the the quality of the builder...totally first rate
Thanks Mitsuo San, and very best wishes...I hope to see you next year!
Sincerely,
John Widgren

second your comments!! I knew Mitso,(Sleepy) early 60's. Bought my first Double neck guitar from him, and although I haven't seen him in quite a while, sound as though he never changed and yes, he designs and builds a GREAT Guitar. |

A true gentleman. He opened up his shop to me on a Sunday moring when I was in Japan even though he had to leave after 3 hours for the funeral of a friend.
