The Headway Essential Edition is a new series from Headway aimed at players who are just starting to play guitar or who want to enjoy music in their daily lives!
A burst of warm tones inspired by the color of amber.
By narrowing the width of the burst part, we have created a sophisticated impression.
The same color burst is applied to the sides and back of the body, creating a unified look.
While retaining the essential elements that have been cherished since the company's founding, such as "a guitar that can be played for a long time with good sound" and "rich resonance," Headway has always valued this brand.
We have achieved a price range that is easy for entry-level users to afford.
We hope that through this guitar you will come into contact with Headway's values and experience the joy of playing music.
[Bone nut and saddle]
The nut and saddle, which are important parts that support the strings on an acoustic guitar, are made from cow bone, which is also used in high-end guitars.
Compared to the resin material often used in cheap guitars, bone produces a solid, cohesive sound.
[Multi-binding decoration]
Because it is an instrument that you will handle every day, we paid particular attention to the details of the decoration so that you can feel the satisfaction the moment you touch it and the joy of owning it.
The outer edge of the body is decorated with a multi-binding made of layered white and black cell material, subtly enhancing the sense of luxury.
[Satin-finished neck]
The neck features a satin finish that feels smooth and comfortable to the touch. This allows for a smooth left-hand grip, supporting smooth chord changes and fingering. The body, meanwhile, boasts a luxurious gloss finish, and Headway's traditional "post-finishing" process ensures a smooth joining of the body and neck, each with a different finish.
