Kikuchi Guitars Hermes Series M70-4 (Natural)

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

The new 70 Series has been born, featuring a full-size body, 20F neck, and 70's pickup locations that blend together in an exquisite way to produce a distinctive tone.

Unlike the standard Hermes series, which are generally more versatile, this model incorporates traditional 70s design elements to deliver rich lows and crisp highs. The two volume controls allow for flexible control of the volume of each pickup, greatly expanding the range of tones players can create.

- Neck -
The 20F fingerboard produces a crisp, snappy, punchy tone when playing slap guitar.

The slightly curved 10-inch radius fingerboard makes it easy to produce pleasant ghost notes, allowing you to play the powerful "chopper tone" that many players imagine.

The string height is set uniformly at every fret position to accommodate a variety of playing styles and musical genres, producing a powerful tone for powerful picking and a warm, enveloping tone for gentle, caressing fingering.

-Body-
The full-size body allows it to handle sharp, powerful inputs and produce a powerful tone. It has the deep, rich bass you expect from a full-size guitar, and produces a thick, warm, natural wooden sound.

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

- Pickups -
The bridge pickup is positioned closer to the bridge in the 70s style, which produces a clear, crisp tone when mixed with the neck pickup.

Additionally, when fingerpicking with your fingers placed on the bridge pickup, your picking position naturally shifts toward the bridge, producing a tight, well-separated tone.

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