Description

-A special model tuned up by Infini Custom Works from the AC422, a great value for money guitar ideal for fingerstyle players-

EASTMAN continues to produce high quality models at reasonable prices.
The skills he has cultivated over many years of making violins, cellos, and double basses are also used in guitar making.
Furthermore, in recent years we have acquired the legendary acoustic brand "Beaujois Guitars," and while fully absorbing its essence, we are further improving our processing precision.

This is an original Hartman Guitars modified model, customised by Infini Custom Works, based on the AC422CE, which is ideal for fingerstyle players.
Fujioka from Infini has thoroughly set up the equipment so that you can enjoy everything from percussive slam playing to beautiful melodic solo guitar!!

Infini Custom Works' dual pickup systems are individually handcrafted to suit the individual characteristics of each guitar.
"I want to produce a powerful palm sound with slam playing..." "I want to fully express the delicate nuances of a beautiful, melodic solo guitar..."
Don't miss out on this special guitar, customized by our staff to meet the needs of fingerstyle guitarists!

Eastman boasts high quality at a reasonable price! The AC422 is ideal for fingerstyle players.

The AC422CE is a part of the AC series, which features a grand auditorium body that is popular with fingerstyle guitarists due to its excellent sound balance and playability.
It features a classic combination of a Sitka spruce top, rosewood back and sides, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard. Despite being priced at under ¥200,000, it boasts a full-gloss finish on an all-solid body for a truly authentic look.
It features the excellent balance that is unique to the Grand Auditorium, as well as the deep low range and brilliant overtones that are unique to spruce and rosewood.
It responds well to even a light touch, but also responds well to a firmer touch, providing a rich dynamic range that makes it the perfect guitar for fingerstyle playing, where delicate nuances can be expressed.

Anfini Custom Works dual pickup system delivers exceptional performance for fingerstyle playing.

In order to faithfully reproduce the guitar's original, wonderful tone even in line sound, it comes pre-installed with a contact piezo x magnetic dual pickup system, which is extremely effective for fingerstyle playing.
This type of dual system is popular with many fingerstyle guitarists, including Andy McKee and Kotaro Oshio.
By blending the vivid acoustic guitar sound obtained from a contact pickup with the thick, forward sound that is characteristic of a magnetic pickup, you can create a vivid, thick line sound that is ideal for fingerstyle playing.

The contact piezo on the main side (tip side) uses "Enfini Custom Works R-Zero Contact Pro BACNT".
This is an original contact pickup that is handcrafted from piezo elements and installed by Mitsunori Fujioka, president of Infini Custom Works, a company renowned for producing some of the best acoustic guitar pickup systems in the industry, to suit the characteristics of each individual guitar.
This time, we have selected the BACNT, a bass-enhanced model that is also suitable for slam playing techniques!
The extremely lightweight design allows for a vivid acoustic sound and powerful bass and palm sounds without compromising the sound of the guitar itself.

The magnetic pickup is a DiMarzio DP234.
Compared to the standard "SUNRISE S-2" in dual systems, it lacks a bit of low-end punch, but it produces a silky, forward-thinking sound that emphasizes chord tones and melody lines, making it a pickup that has been gaining attention in the solo guitar world in recent years as a new standard magnetic pickup!

We asked Mr. Fujioka to set up the contact and magnetic pickups, and the setup is designed to bring out the full potential of both pickups.
The magnetic is also designed to be easily removable, allowing it to be used for recording without interfering with the live sound.
By blending these two excellent pickups, you can achieve the wide range, nuanced reproduction, and rich sound that is characteristic of acoustic guitars.
From percussive slamming of the body to ballads with beautiful melodies, this will be a great advantage for fingerstyle guitarists!


※※※
Because it is a passive dual specification, it is a pickup system that connects to a preamplifier or amplifier that has 2-channel input using a stereo cable.
This guitar does not come with a stereo cable, preamp, etc. We can also provide guidance and suggestions on peripheral equipment and how to use it.
We can also install a similar pickup system on your guitar. Please feel free to contact Hartman Guitars' representative, Mr. Akita, for more information.
