Descripción
[Manufacturer Outlet / Slightly Damaged Item at a Special Price]
As this is a manufacturer's outlet item, there may be some scratches and dents, but this does not affect playability.


Hermes has released the long-awaited full-size and 20F 70 series!

The 70 Series has been newly created, with its full-size body, 20-fret neck, and 70's-style pickup placement all blending together in a "perfect" way to produce a distinctive tone.

Unlike the versatile specifications of the standard Hermes series, this model incorporates traditional 70s specifications in various parts, resulting in rich lows and crisp highs. The combination of two volume controls allows for precise control of the volume of each pickup, greatly expanding the range of tonal variations that players can create.

- Neck -
The 20-fret fingerboard produces a crisp, snappy, and punchy tone when using slap techniques.

The slightly strongly curved 10-inch radius fretboard makes it easy to produce pleasing ghost notes, allowing you to play the powerful "chopper tone" that many players envision.

To accommodate various playing techniques and musical genres, the string height is set uniformly at every fret position, resulting in a powerful tone for forceful picking and a warm, enveloping tone for gentle fingering.

- Body -
Featuring a full-size body that can handle sharp and powerful inputs, it produces a dazzling tone. It boasts the boundless richness of bass characteristic of a full-size instrument, creating a thick, warm, and natural woody resonance.

The body is made of ash wood. The dry, punchy tone blends perfectly with the rich, powerful tone of the full-size shape.

- Pickups -
The bridge pickup utilizes a 70's-style position, which brings it closer to the bridge. When mixed with the neck pickup, it produces a clear and crisp tone.

Furthermore, when fingerpicking with your fingers resting on the bridge pickup, your picking position naturally shifts towards the bridge, allowing you to produce a tight, well-defined tone.

- Controls -
Instead of a pickup balancer, it employs a classic 2-volume control. This allows for precise adjustment of each pickup's volume, greatly expanding the range of tonal variations obtainable when mixing pickups.
