| KISEKAE Update History | |
| 2009/10/19 | Added Kahler trem to the Ver.8 guitars |
| 2009/09/26 | The site design has been updated |
| 2009/09/16 | I've been doing
a guitar parts website called TCTGP for the Japanese market. Now I've made the English version, which is a subset of the main Japanese site, and added the new Kisekae Hipshot A Style Bass Bridge. |
| 2009/04/11 | New parts - Les Paul Jr's pickguard |
| 2009/02/02 | New - Kisekae SGl Ver.8 |

| 2008/11/27 | New - Kisekae
Strat Ver.8 * save function * faster load * get price quote function -------------------------------------------------------- 2008/12/30 I have enabled the Price Quote Function again. After you click the price quote button, the system will display the price list so that you can calculate your dream guitar's price. -------------------------------------------------------- 2008/12/10 I had to disable the Price Quote Function as I've already got many inquiries more than I can handle. I'll ask the builders to create a standard price list and put it on this site. This way most of you won't need to contact me to find out the ballpark price. Please wait. -------------------------------------------------------- 2008/12/01 For those who have sent me the price quote request, please wait for a week or so to get my response as my builder need to check your dream guitar and find out the estimate prices. Actually, I'm getting MANY requests from you. Please send me a request only when you are serious about making a custom guitar. ------------------------------------------------------- |
| 2008/11/16 | Temporarily
disabled the Kisekae LP and SG. Those programs are too old so there are many problems with recent Flash players. (some people even couldn't start the program) So I'll have to upgrade my system for those gutiars. |
| 2008/05/09 | Kisekae Tele/Strat
V7.21 This is a bug fix version. Some people have reported me that sometimes this system hangs and it seems the issue happens randomly. Since I don't have time to check everything right now, I've put a little "Cancel" button as a quick fix. You'll see a green cancel button at the lower left of the screen to reset the last load action. This "might" cause another issue later but at least you won't have to restart the Kisekae system. |

| 2003/05/03 | (Jackson RR Ver.6.32 -- NEW)
I thought this model was easy to make since I've already made Jackson's headstock for the Soloist. But of cource that was wrong! This guitar was so big that it didn't fit into the existing Kisekae window. So I had to modify more than 100 programs (!) to support this model. |
| 2003/02/25 | (Soloist 6.311 -- NEW) (JEM 6.311 -- Updated) I've added some body materials. (actually added to all models) In the Control section, the words "JACK" and "OFF" are now separated away from each other. ..... I don't like English. (someday i'll convert everything here into japanese!!) |

| 2003/02/04 | (JEM Beta version) Beta test version for the Ibanez JEM guitar. I know! I need Rotomatic tuners, color pickups, more inlays, etc. Some of them will be supported in the future. Or, for inlays, you can help me by sending me cool inlay images to me. (no frets, no strings please) New Kisekae features: (1) You can use JPG images for headstock, pickguard and neck. (2) By using DIY head, you can try any headstock shapes as long as you have JPG files. I'll explain this more in the FAQ page later. (3) Each guitar's window can be opened separately. This means you can start multiple kisekae guitars at the same time. New Kisekae parts: Floydrose's locking nuts, the long missing parts, have found! Ibaneze bridges, Floydrose routing cavities, pickup routing cavities |
