Its refined design and sound have earned it the moniker \"Modern Classic,\" and it enjoys immense popularity, especially among fingerstyle players.\u003cbr\u003e Despite its appearance, it boasts a surprisingly thick and substantial fundamental tone, and despite its OM body, it offers a wide dynamic range that makes you feel like you're playing a dreadnought. Moreover, it has excellent responsiveness to picking, with the entire body vibrating smoothly even with a light strum, and when touched firmly, the sound image is not crushed, resulting in a sound balance that is extremely faithful to the player's touch nuances.\u003cbr\u003e This model best reflects Dana's original design philosophy in both its looks and design, and this Down East series also strongly conveys that lineage.\u003cbr\u003e While it's an affordable guitar with high cost performance in the 300,000 yen range, it's a truly exceptional instrument that you'll be convinced is a genuinely good guitar regardless of the price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, this particular guitar was carefully selected by Akita, the floor chief of Hartman Guitars, during a visit to the Eastman factory at the end of June 2026, from among many stock guitars.\u003cbr\u003e We carefully select each and every instrument, paying attention to everything from the wood grain of the top and back to the subtle differences in sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Infini Custom Works' dual pickup system is incredibly powerful for fingerstyle playing◆\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e To faithfully reproduce the guitar's inherently wonderful tone even in line-out sound, it comes equipped with a dual pickup system combining contact piezo and magnetic pickups, which is extremely effective for fingerstyle playing.\u003cbr\u003e This type of dual system is adopted by many fingerstyle guitarists, including Andy McKee and Kotaro Oshio.\u003cbr\u003e By blending the raw, authentic acoustic guitar sound obtained from a contact pickup with the thick, forward sound characteristic of a magnetic pickup, it's possible to create a raw yet full-bodied line sound that's perfect for fingerstyle playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The main (tip) contact piezo uses the \"Enfini Custom Works R-Zero Contact Pro BACNT\".\u003cbr\u003e This is an original contact pickup, handcrafted and installed by Mitsunori Fujioka, the representative of Anfini Custom Works, a company renowned for producing some of the industry's leading acoustic guitar pickup systems. Each pickup is tailored to the specific characteristics of the individual guitar.\u003cbr\u003e This time, we've selected the BACNT, a bass-enhanced type that's suitable for techniques like slap playing, from their lineup!\u003cbr\u003e Thanks to its extremely lightweight design, it delivers a natural acoustic sound, powerful bass, and palm sounds without compromising the guitar's natural resonance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The magnetic pickup uses the \"DiMarzio DP234\".\u003cbr\u003e Compared to the standard \"SUNRISE S-2\" in dual systems, it's slightly less powerful in the low frequencies, but in return, it produces a silky, forward sound that emphasizes chord tones and melody lines. It's a pickup that has recently been gaining attention in the solo guitar scene as a new standard magnetic pickup!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I entrusted the contact and magnetic pickup setup to Mr. Fujioka, resulting in a setup that brings out 100% of the characteristics of both pickups.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, the magnetic element is designed to be easily removable, allowing for use in recording sessions and other situations where the natural sound is not interfered with.\u003cbr\u003e By blending and using two excellent pickups, you can achieve the wide range, nuanced reproduction, and depth inherent in acoustic instruments.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, Mr. Fujioka has also tuned up the string height balance, resulting in a guitar with a distinctly different level of playability.\u003cbr\u003e From percussive slap techniques to ballad styles with beautiful melodic lines, this guitar will be a huge advantage for fingerstyle guitarists!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ※※※\u003cbr\u003e This pickup system is a passive dual-type design, requiring a stereo cable to be connected to a preamplifier with 2-channel input.\u003cbr\u003e This guitar does not come with a stereo cable, preamp, etc. We can also provide guidance and suggestions regarding peripheral equipment and how to use it effectively.\u003cbr\u003e For more details, please feel free to contact Akita at Hartman Guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: OMC\u003cbr\u003e Top Wood: Torrefied Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003e Back Sides: Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e Neck: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e Fretboard: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Scale Length: 25.5 (647.7 mm)\u003cbr\u003e Nut\/Bridge Width: 1 3\/4(44.5mm)\u003cbr\u003e Saddle: Bone\u003cbr\u003e Pins: Ivoroid\u003cbr\u003e Finish: High Gloss\u003cbr\u003e Tip(Contact) PU: Enfini Custom Works R-Zero Contact Pro BACNT\u003cbr\u003e Ring (magnetic) PU: DiMarzio DP234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hard case included","brand":"Bourgeois","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44140426395761,"sku":"865702","price":3201.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/865702_01.jpg?v=1787208357","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/es\/products\/865702","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
