March 2021 – Japan urushi artist inventor

All design aspects are my design and supervision.

We are also designing the structure.

1)
Body thickness is the same as #GIBSON @ES-175 “3 inches”

2)
The width of the body is the same as #GIBSON @SUPER-400 “18 inches”

3)
Internal brazing is not pasting. All of them are carved from a thick top plate, and the back and top arches are both carved from spruce wood.

4)
The bridge has been remade three times, and a HIGHLANDER (pickup) is set inside the wood ebony, making it a circuit that can be mixed with the sound of the EMG passive pickup. The volume knob is machined from flame maple.

5)
Since there is too much sustain, the pickup will stop using GIBSON PAF and wrap the EMG passive type in deer leather.

6)
The surface of the floating flame maple pickguard is vinyl coated to reduce nail contact noise during finger picking.

7)
The HIGHLANDER battery case is located on the tail pin side and has a wedge-shaped lid that is applied to Japanese furniture and furnishings. This is also maple wood.

8)
The gauge used is D’Addario’s 3rd plain string, “.012” set. Since it is a round wound, I am also conscious of acoustic to rock sounds.
