Description
Forch Guitars is one of Europe's leading brands, loved primarily by fingerstyle guitarists.
The Yellow Gc-SR is the most classic and popular model in the lineup, and this is a special modified model original to Hartman Guitars, equipped with a dual pickup system made by our recommended workshop, Anfini Custom Works.
This time, we selected the model with the best sound balance from the multiple items in stock and asked Anfini Custom Works to tune it up.
A well-balanced range from low to high, a highly responsive picking response that faithfully reproduces the player's nuances, and a rich, mellow overtone feel...
Its extremely refined "plain sound" is effective not only for fingerstyle playing but also for backing vocals.
Highly recommended for those who want to "produce a powerful palm sound with slam playing" or "express every delicate nuance of a beautiful melodic solo guitar"!!
Infini Custom Works' dual pickup systems are individually handcrafted to suit the individual characteristics of each guitar.
"I want to produce a powerful palm sound with slam playing..." "I want to fully express the delicate nuances of a beautiful, melodic solo guitar..."
Don't miss out on this special guitar, customized by our staff to meet the needs of fingerstyle guitarists!
◆The classic model "Yellow Gc-SR" is compatible with a wide range of genres.◆
This "Yellow Gc-SR" is a Grand Auditorium cutaway style guitar from Forch Guitars' classic Yellow series (formerly the 23 series)!
The top is made of AAA grade Sitka spruce, and the back and sides are made of AA grade Indian rosewood.
The combination of an auditorium body with excellent volume balance and deep bass, and a spruce top that is clear, has a fast attack, and can withstand even a strong touch, results in an extremely versatile sound that can be used in a wide range of genres.
The separation between each note is excellent, making this a suitable guitar for players who want to bring bass lines and melodies to the forefront.
Anfini Custom Works dual pickup system delivers exceptional performance for fingerstyle playing.
In order to faithfully reproduce the wonderful tone of the Forch even in line sound, the guitar comes pre-installed with a contact piezo x magnetic dual pickup system, which is extremely effective for fingerstyle playing.
This type of dual system is popular with many fingerstyle guitarists, including Andy McKee and Kotaro Oshio.
By blending the vivid acoustic guitar sound obtained from a contact pickup with the thick, forward sound that is characteristic of a magnetic pickup, you can create a vivid, thick line sound that is ideal for fingerstyle playing.
The contact piezo on the main side (tip side) uses "Enfini Custom Works R-Zero Contact Pro BACNT".
This is an original contact pickup that is handcrafted from piezo elements and installed by Mitsunori Fujioka, president of Infini Custom Works, a company renowned for producing some of the best acoustic guitar pickup systems in the industry, to suit the characteristics of each individual guitar.
This time, we have selected the BACNT, a bass-enhanced model that is also suitable for slam playing techniques!
The extremely lightweight design allows for a vivid acoustic sound and powerful bass and palm sounds without compromising the sound of the guitar itself.
The magnetic pickup is a DiMarzio DP234.
Compared to the standard "SUNRISE S-2" in dual systems, it lacks a bit of low-end punch, but it produces a silky, forward-thinking sound that emphasizes chord tones and melody lines, making it a pickup that has been gaining attention in the solo guitar world in recent years as a new standard magnetic pickup!
We asked Mr. Fujioka to set up the contact and magnetic pickups, and the setup is designed to bring out the full potential of both pickups.
The magnetic is also designed to be easily removable, allowing it to be used for recording without interfering with the live sound.
The jack also features a "flush mount bezel" specially made by Infini Custom Works.
By providing a separate jack, we have eliminated the inconvenience of attaching a strap that is common with regular endpin jacks, and have created a luxurious look.
The wide range, nuanced reproduction, and deep sound obtained by blending two excellent pickups will be a great advantage for fingerstyle playing!
※※※
Because it is a passive dual specification, it is a pickup system that connects to a preamplifier or amplifier that has 2-channel input using a stereo cable.
This guitar does not come with a stereo cable, preamp, etc. We can also provide guidance and suggestions on peripheral equipment and how to use it.
We can also install a similar pickup system on your guitar. Please feel free to contact Hartman Guitars' representative, Mr. Akita, for more information.
