The Shonen Knife NeXuS ~ Photo Feature


Naoko's Guitars!


This month, we feature some of the guitars played by rock guitarist Naoko Yamano over the years. Naoko also has other guitars including acoustics not shown here, of course - perhaps we can feature some more of them soon! Meanwhile, here's Naoko with some of the guitars, which have powered up the Shonen Knife sound!
