Gorgeous and gorgeous ~A special guitar to celebrate Sakura Guitar's 10th anniversary~

Headway is popular for its high level of craftsmanship and produces a wide range of models, from traditional to exotic and modern.
At Headway, we have Aska Team Build, a small but elite team of staff who have built up a 10-year career under master builder Momose.
Asuka Team Build incorporates rare woods not normally used in regular models, as well as processing and designs that require advanced skills, and is produced with specifications that are carefully considered not only for sound but also for appearance.

Sakura Guitars have been around for 10 years. Throughout their history, there have been many gorgeous models with the word "Deluxe" attached to them, and Headway, who have been working with Sakura Guitars for 10 years, presents this special model that is gorgeous, deluxe, and embodies the essence of Sakura Guitars. This particular guitar was stored on display at the Deviser Museum and is the last one to be released.

The body features an Adirondack spruce top, cherry wood for the back and sides, and a granadillo rosewood centerpiece for the back. The cherry wood was chosen for its figured finish, characteristic of this commemorative model, and was selected for its excellent balance. Combined with the dreadnought body shape, the guitar produces a powerful, overtone-rich sound, while the firm low end characteristic of a three-piece guitar produces a pleasant tone.

The neck is a combination of African mahogany with an ebony fingerboard, and the thin neck grip makes it extremely playable.
Rigidity has also been taken into consideration with the incorporation of two carbon support bars, which not only maintain the rigidity of the neck but also contribute to quick response, transmitting vibrations the moment you play.

The decoration includes a crane inlay on the headstock, representing the Sakura Guitar's 10th anniversary theme, a Tree of Life-like inlay on the back of the body, and fluttering cherry blossoms on the fingerboard and pickguard. The guitar is also colored with a unique gradation of colors, creating an exquisite balance that fully showcases the grain of the oak cherry. The back of the body is also painted with a "Sakura Holographic" pattern, which glimpses and disappears to represent cherry blossoms blowing in the wind.

The sound, looks, and finish of this guitar are truly worthy of commemorating Sakura Guitars' 10th anniversary.
The Sakura model is the crystallization of our cultivated technology and know-how.
