Comfort of a Slim Body, but Don’t Miss the Rich Bass: Choose the Grand Concert Body

Practice Time to Improve Skills! Start with the Grand Concert Body

Upper body depth: 92mm, lower body depth: 113mm
Size considered for various body types, larger than OM but smaller than GA
Provides both comfortable playability and pleasant mid-low tones

―――――――――――――――――――

Bevel Armrest

Feels even slimmer
Improves playing skill of the right arm for accurate rhythm and groove
More comfortable body structure to enhance your playing skills

―――――――――――――――――――

Warmth Born in an Oxygen-Free Space

Thermally treated wood offers the depth of long-maintained tonewoods from the start of your guitar journey. Provides a warmer, deeper “vintage sound” and the charm of “antique color.”

Sound Pillar

Equipping the sound pillar alters the sound response, clarifies the original tone by organizing overtones, and offers a clean pickup sound with flat sound balance. Remove the sound pillar for richer bass and damping.

―――――――――――――――――――

Extended Resonance

The traditional design head features heavy head machines and a metal head backplate that extend the sustain of the sound.

―――――――――――――――――――

Enjoy Playing with a Comfortable Left Hand

The traditional nut size of 43mm with a slim-C shaped thin neck makes it easy for even small-handed players to thumb-fret the sixth string. The volute at the head-neck junction supports the left hand during open chord play.

―――――――――――――――――――

Deeper Resonance with Thinner Finish

The solid top, prone to scratches during play, is coated with a hard, thin matte finish. The sides and back, crucial for overtones and resonance depth, are coated with an even thinner open-pore finish, considering both instrument care and deep resonance.

―――――――――――――――――――

Precision Head Machines with 15:1 Gear Ratio

Minimized backlash due to the meshing gear’s empty spaces allows for more precise tuning of each string.

―――――――――――――――――――

Low Notes as Low Notes, High Notes as High Notes

The internal bracing design and asymmetrical bridge design align with the thick sixth string’s bass and the thin first string’s treble, ensuring optimal sound transmission.

―――――――――――――――――――

Soft Contact Points with the Body

The edges between the top and sides are softly rounded with a 3mm radius binding, reducing fatigue on the right arm and leg that contact these points for long periods.

―――――――――――――――――――

Smooth Curved Cutaway

The cutaway designed for playing the 12th to 20th frets minimizes sudden bends considering resonance.

―――――――――――――――――――

12mm Premium Gig Bag

Using lightweight 12mm thick foam, it safely protects the guitar from external shocks. The gig bag’s fully open front prevents scratches when inserting or removing the guitar. Reflecting advanced technology and design, it helps to safely store and transport the guitar.
