Deviser One Day Guitar Show 2023 selection

■ Full-fledged auditorium style interpreted by custom builder Arata Furihata
This model specializes in Headway's traditional style, and although he is young, his master Momose also approves of his technique and perfection. Custom shop builder Arata Furihata has interpreted the auditorium style by combining it with his own essence, creating a variation series in which each model has slight differences based on the characteristics of the materials.
This time, Furihata's theme is the ``slight differences'' caused by the properties of materials. Furihata, who specializes in classic acoustic guitars with an excellent selection eye, deliberately chose the theme of ``slight differences'' in wood.It is precisely because Furihata, who has been more serious than anyone else about the fundamentals of guitar making, that he is able to make the differences into reality. It is.

■ The rich sound of rosewood from Madagascar
This model generously uses Madagascar rosewood, which is extremely difficult to obtain in recent years and whose rarity is only increasing. Its rich and bright tone captures the player's heart and never lets go. In addition to the sense of balance between the high and low ranges, Honkiku also has an elegant sustain that lasts forever.

■ “Slight differences” in Madagascar rosewood pursued by Furihata
Madagascar rosewood is characterized by a deep high range and a low range that transmits to the body, and to make the most of these characteristics, we selected bracing that can add a bright sound. The ``34 semi-forward shift bracing'' inherited from his mentor, Kyao Momose, is adopted, and ``Jacaranda'' is used luxuriously for the reinforcing material under the bridge. By intentionally choosing Jacaranda for the parts that would normally be made of hard maple, we have created a gem of a rosewood sound that adds a richer, brighter tone.
This time, we specially used Madagascar rosewood, which was specially sourced from custom stock materials. This is possible because it is a special model, and it is also due to the craftsman Furihata's careful selection of materials.

■ Fascinating auditorium made of Japanese wood “black Ezo pine”
Although it has authentic specifications, it has a modern design throughout, and the top of the body is made of Japanese wood, ``black Ezo pine.'' The bright, straight attack feel is a tone unique to black Ezo pine. It goes perfectly with ``34 Semi-Forward Shift Bracing'', and its specifications that can be used in any genre, such as playing or solo guitar, are one of its attractive features.

■ Extra slim V-neck design symbolizing the evolution of Headway
The neck grip uses an ``extra slim V neck'' that symbolizes Headway's evolution. While models in the 500 series usually have a "U-neck" design, this model intentionally uses a "V-neck" design, combining Headway's tradition and innovation. This neck is not only thin and easy to play, but also ``We hope that users who pick up the Headway will use it for a long time. ” In order to protect Momose's Headway belief, we have introduced carbon support to the neck. As a result, compared to conventional narrow V-necks, the neck is approximately 1mm thinner at the first fret, resulting in a neck that is easy to grip. In addition, the addition of carbon support dramatically increases the rigidity of the neck, leading to a better response that produces sound the moment you play it.
