Headway HD-SHIKIZAKURA'23 SF S-ESU/ATB

The 2023 version of the model was inspired by the "Shiki-zakura" in Ohara, Toyota City, where cherry blossoms and autumn leaves bloom at the same time! !

This series features an elegant design with a four-season cherry blossom motif and wood materials that utilize Japanese materials such as cherry blossoms and maple, which have been a major feature of the Headway brand in recent years.The series includes the ever-popular HD and the small and easy-to-handle HF. There is a lineup of body shapes, and this time the HD type "HD-SHIKIZAKURA'23 SF, S-ESU/ATB" is in stock.

This series is impressive with its elegant design of cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, but this 2023 version uses a gradation color that changes diagonally, imagining the scenery of Ohara's four-season cherry blossoms as the sun sets, and the entire body is decorated with gradation colors that change diagonally. The design concept expresses cherry blossoms and autumn leaves in full bloom.

Looking at the details of the characteristic design, the head top is made of maple wood with beautiful flame heather, and the inlay work depicts cherry blossoms and autumn leaves blooming at the same time, and the purple heart fingerboard is also decorated. The design features a story of falling cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, and this design flow is also used in the soundhole rosette and the purple heart pickguard.

In addition, the sound hole cover designed exclusively for this series has inlay work depicting the scenery of ``Kawami Shikizakura no Sato'', which is said to be the most beautiful view of Ohara's four-season cherry blossoms, and the sound itself is an excellent design. It is a hole cover.

The wood material on the back is also a feature, and it has a three-piece structure with maple wood placed in the center of the cherry wood, based on the concept of four seasons cherry blossoms where cherry blossoms and autumn leaves bloom at the same time, and only the maple wood in the center has an orange gradation inspired by the sunset. The colors are painted differently, and the design of a woman in Japanese clothes creates a look that conveys a story.

The woods used for its three-piece structure are carefully selected Japanese wild cherry wood and maple wood, which have a distinctive flame heather. Both materials are relatively hard and sturdy, but maple gives the slightly sweet sound unique to wild cherry wood. By adding the clean and sharp tone of the amp as its essence, the result is an impressive sound that sounds sweet and refreshing from a light touch.

The neck grip uses the "Extra Slim U Neck" shape, which is the thinnest neck in Headway's history, and the high strength neck structure is reinforced with two carbon bars on both sides of the truss rod, increasing the strength of the neck. At the same time, unnecessary neck bending is suppressed, and the vibrations of the strings are smoothly transmitted to the body, making it a structure that is designed not only for playability but also for sound.

The 2023 version of Shikizakura, which has such detailed specifications, will be produced in very limited quantities this time as well, so if you are interested, hurry up!
