Provision STC-SLM 4A Quilt Maple Cherry Sunburst #008 The strongest 4A quilt maple body A must-see for Luca surf fans

Description

For a limited time only, it will be limited to 48 times.
This individual is the specification that our store ordered after selecting the material.
This time it will be a specification using the strongest material ever.
This is a masterpiece with a 4A grade quilted maple body.
While quilts were running out, we never imagined that 4A grade maple chunks would be back in stock.
I made it before when I was working in Ikebukuro, but the depth of this quilt was the same or even better than the previous one.
If you look at it, it will be obvious what kind of guitar this model is based on.
This is a reprint of Steve Lukather's signature model, which was released in the 80's by Valley Arts, which can be said to be the roots of high-end guitars that continue to the present day.

Nowadays, many people think of Steve Lukather as Music Man, but I've heard many times that fans of the past admired the Lukather model of Valley Arts.
It was only natural that guitar kids of the time would be captivated once they witnessed Lukather's technical playing, which was sometimes hailed as a god.

At the time, guitar kids eagerly went to music stores hoping to buy that Lukather guitar, but were overwhelmed by the high prices of Lukather models and had no choice but to give up.

By the early 1990s, when the guitar kids who had spent their school days and twenties finally had enough money to go back to music stores to buy that guitar they had always dreamed of, the great ballet arts industry had virtually disappeared. As a result, many people were unable to purchase the Lukather model.

After that, the Lukather model was released by MusicMan, so there are many people who love the Luke, but I'm sure there are also many people who want to own that guitar that they dreamed of in their youth.
This model is a masterpiece model that is conscious of the Lukather model of the time, so much so that it makes you want to applaud.
First, take a look at the body material.

This model has an amazing book muck quilt maple body, just like the Lukather model at the time.
Normally, quilted maple is only attached to the top material, but in this case, the entire body material is made of flame maple only.

Personally, I feel that boldly using quilted maple, which has become extremely rare in recent years, for the guitar body is too bold, but as a Luka Sur fan, I'm very happy with the specification. .
Another great feature is that the neck material is made of the finest bird's eye maple.
By using the best 4A grade bird's eye neck, which even shows flame-like heather in the bird's eye, it matches very well with the quilted maple body.
The fingerboard is also made of jet black ebony, so it looks exactly like the Lukather model from Ballet Arts at the time.
And above all, the most pleasing point is that the pickup uses EMG.
Rather than mounting the orthodox 85, EMG also mounted the 81, which was Lukather's favorite at the time, on the rear.
Lukather also used the 85, so if you like later Lukathers, it might be a good idea to replace it with the 85.

The transparent tone that retains the core, typical of EMG, is reminiscent of the Lukather sound of the time.
This example has a rare quilted maple body and is an incredibly reasonable price considering the wood material is 4A grade wood with outstanding heather grain, so if you are a Lukather fan or are looking for a good high-end guitar, this is a good choice. Please consider this as soon as possible.
Below is the manufacturer's description.
In Japan, when it comes to guitar manufacturing, Nagano Prefecture is the place to be. I think many people have that impression.
Nagano Prefecture is home to many of Japan's leading brands, including Fujigen and Deviser (Bacchus Momose), as well as Sugi and T's Guitars, but domestic guitar brands can be found all over Japan.
Provision is the westernmost brand in Japan, and has been producing guitars in Ube City, Yamaguchi Prefecture since 1988 with a small team of less than 10 people.
Most people probably don't get the word Provision, but in recent years its popularity and instructions have increased explosively.
Originally, Provision is one of the few guitar studios in Japan that handles full custom orders. (Currently still accepting applications)
Full order is a dream that every guitarist dreams of at least once, but from a guitar manufacturer's perspective, it is a very troublesome issue.
Due to the nature of fully custom-made guitars, many of the guitars have unique shapes, and the molds necessary for guitar production, such as jigs, must be created from scratch.
Moreover, since it was made for one piece, it cannot be reused and can only be used once.

Furthermore, the sound changes greatly due to various factors such as the shape of the guitar, the specs of the wood, the electrical system, etc.
If the player's ideal sound turned out as expected, nothing would make me happier than that, but that is unlikely to happen.
The dream is to get the ideal specs with a full order, but if the order is far from the player's ideal sound, the manufacturer will give you advice and then refine the guitar you want to make.

Because there are so many troublesome projects like this, most brands only handle semi-custom orders, but Provision, whose philosophy is to manufacture guitars for players from the player's perspective, is a full-time manufacturer. We have continued to accept orders since our establishment.

Provison has continued to manufacture guitars to make people's dreams come true, and as a result, the skills, know-how, and experience of our craftsmen have grown to an outstanding level compared to those of other brands.
Provision has the highest level of technology and is able to provide accurate advice tailored to the player's perspective, which is why Provision has been loved by many players despite being located in Yamaguchi Prefecture, which is a disadvantageous location for a guitar manufacturer.

Although they are now well-known, their philosophy and beliefs remain unchanged.

We do our best not only with fully custom-made models, but also with semi-custom and regular lines, and continue to create instruments that are aimed at players.

I would like you to pick up a guitar that Provision, which has continued to make many dreams come true, brings to the world.
