He reads the potential tonality hidden within the fibers of the world's finest tonewoods, and selects only the finest soundboards.\u003cbr\u003e To maximize the unique tone of each type of wood, each brace for the soundboard is meticulously carved, and the sound is checked through hand-voicing. Once the soundboards for the Touchstone series are complete and have undergone a final check by Dana, only those that have been vacuum-sealed are shipped to the Eastman workshop.\u003cbr\u003e There, Eastman's hand-picked luthiers, who have meticulously studied Beaujolais's philosophy and structural methodology, breathe life into each of their guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Japan Special OMC Soloist\/TS -\u003cbr\u003e The Soloist is the most iconic and representative model of Beaujolais.\u003cbr\u003e Featuring an OM (Orchestra) body with a distinctive shallow Venetian cutaway, this guitar boasts a beautiful silhouette. 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... Yet, it responds exceptionally quickly to picking, and even a light strum causes the entire body to vibrate smoothly. Furthermore, when you touch it firmly, the sound image is not crushed, resulting in a sound balance that is incredibly faithful to the player's touch nuances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is a limited edition product created specifically for Japan.\u003cbr\u003e Just like the original Soloist, it features luxurious specifications using rare Madagascar rosewood, and the sound is superb, not inferior to the all-USA made Bourgeois.\u003cbr\u003e Beaujolais' signature thick, lustrous fundamental tone and voluminous midrange, along with harmonics that create a beautiful, lingering resonance without being overpowering, and a smooth, extended sustain. All of these elements blend together in exquisite balance, producing a pure, unadulterated tone that highlights the nuances of the player's expression.\u003cbr\u003e This is definitely a guitar I can recommend, both in terms of looks and sound!
