Description
Description
A custom 5-string model with materials chosen to appeal to connoisseurs.
Kikuchi Guitars was born in 2023, 30 years after luthier Yoshiyuki Kikuchi visited the world-renowned master craftsman Roger Sadowsky. Experience the full depth of his musical instrument knowledge, which he has cultivated while faithfully inheriting Sadowsky's ethos. The Custom Series, a culmination of Kikuchi's career, features a diverse range of motifs, each a masterpiece worthy of being called a work of art, meticulously crafted from the wood and the artist's spontaneous creative passion.
This series is produced in very limited quantities each time and is sold in select stores. This instrument boasts a classic style with a chambered body featuring an African mahogany top and African mahogany back, a cocobolo fingerboard, and a roasted flame maple neck for a gorgeous look. You'll enjoy a premium tone that transcends the sophistication of Japanese-made instruments and is recognized worldwide. The high resolution and rich sound quality fully capture the rich resonance of the instrument itself, and the rich, dense sound image instantly captivate the player from the moment the instrument is played. This is a truly captivating instrument.
The high-precision neck that can accommodate low action, the well-balanced body, and various other elements are beautifully combined to form an instrument that is not only highly playable, but also packed with charm and enjoyment that cannot be found anywhere else, including a tight and powerful sound.
The number of guitars produced each time is extremely limited, so whenever an announcement is made, fierce competition ensues for this custom series. This guitar features a material choice that is preferred by connoisseurs, but the sound is simply wonderful and well-balanced, and we were able to find a great guitar. We hope you enjoy it.
