LINDO RYOKOU ELECTRO ACOUSTIC TRAVEL GUITAR – DESIGN AND CONCEPT
Designed in Bristol, UK, the Lindo Ryokou Electro Acoustic Travel Guitar showcases a Japanese theme centred around the beauty of nature and the outdoors (“Ryokou” is Japanese for “Travel”!). Through original art created at the Lindo HQ, its graphic art finish is vivid and eye-catching, offering something fresh and appealing to Japanese art fans. As a travel-size instrument, it’s a convenient 3/4 size with a 23-inch scale length, making it ideal for musicians on the go.
The Lindo Ryokou boasts a unique, “soaked through” purple solid maple fretboard. Adorned with Japanese kanji inlays representing the five elements and a maple and abalone sea shell harmony symbol at the 12th fret, it’s designed to inspire. The body features a matching solid maple bridge with sapele back and sides, paired with a laminated Spruce top. A baked maple binding on the body and fretboard not only offer robust construction but also enhance the wood’s natural beauty. A bone nut and intonation-compensated saddle ensure superior sound quality and playability.
Its composite neck, resistant to temperature and humidity changes, guarantees consistent performance. The C-shaped neck profile caters to comfort and ease of play. A standout feature is the luminous inlays, which can be charged with a flashlight, ensuring visibility on stage and never missing a note.
The headstock echoes the guitar’s body with matching Japanese-themed artwork. Precision is key with its diecast chrome machine heads, boasting a 19:1 gear ratio for exact tuning. This attention to detail reinforces the Lindo Ryokou’s commitment to quality and aesthetic appeal.
With the remarkable BS3M Blend preamplifier onboard, the Lindo Ryokou ensures an unmatched audio experience. This advanced preamp, featuring a notch filter and phase button, offers enhanced control over your sound. The notch filter effectively targets and eliminates frequency-specific feedback, ensuring a clearer, more focused sound during live performances. The phase button provides additional tonal control, allowing you to adjust the sound’s warmth and presence, making it ideal for adapting to various room acoustics or recording settings. The preamp combines a piezoelectric pickup under the bridge saddle and a soundhole microphone to faithfully capture the full spectrum of your guitar’s natural sound. Offering both XLR and Jack outputs, you can effortlessly connect to any audio system and unleash your creativity on stage or in the studio. Whether in a quiet bedroom setting or on a lively stage, the Lindo Ryokou adapts seamlessly, delivering exceptional sound quality and convenience.
