Headway Used HOM-F's Concept '23 SF, S-SV/ATB (ANA) [Excellent Condition] Headway

A used item of a special model announced at the Divider Trade Show held in 2023!

The top is made of Japanese wood, the edges of the elbows are chamfered, and the sophisticated decoration and appearance make this a masterpiece that evokes the manufacturer's authenticity.

As for the condition of this instrument, there are some dents and scratches in some places, including on the top of the body, but since it was manufactured only recently, it is in good condition overall.
There are no noticeable dents or scratches, and the condition is worthy of being described as excellent.

Because this guitar has been played carefully, the satin finish on the neck has a slight sheen, but there are no other noticeable signs of use.
When the instrument arrived at our store, the nut was found to be worn, but it has been replaced at an affiliated workshop, so you can play it with peace of mind.

It comes with a genuine hard case, but please note that the leather has some signs of wear, such as peeling.

The manufacturer's suggested retail price is 429,000 yen (tax included), so this is a great deal to buy at this price!
This is a product that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a versatile OM style.

The following is quoted from the new page:

Headway is popular for its high level of craftsmanship and produces a wide range of models, from traditional to exotic and modern.
At Headway, there is the Aska Team Build, comprised of a small but elite team of builders who have built a 10-year career under the guidance of master builder Momose. At Aska Team Build, Furuhata brings his own unique style to the mix, different from both Momose and Yasui. He has experience at Divider, where he was in charge of everything from the production of the Standard series of acoustic guitars to the construction of electric guitars, and he brings his unique approach and know-how, which comes from being involved in a variety of processes, to the custom shop.

This model is part of the concept series, which has produced several models in the past, and is a concept model that combines Furuhata's own essence, philosophy, and ideas, and will be released under the name F's Concept. Furuhata's concept model this time is based on the concept of "modern," and this "modern" model, interpreted by Furuhata, who specializes in making traditional acoustic guitars, shows his attention to detail in every aspect.

The top is crafted from Hokkaido-grown black spruce, a highly sought-after tonewood, producing a dynamic sound reminiscent of the finest Adirondack spruce. The back and sides are crafted from flame mahogany, a rare wood available only through the Asuka team build. Its warm sound is distinctly different from standard mahogany, offering a warmth and power. Combined with the semi-forward shift internal bracing, the result is a balanced, harmonious, and highly versatile sound, while also offering a full, expansive tone.
In addition, the OM-style body shape is an all-purpose style that suits both stroke and fingerstyle playing, and the body is 4mm thicker to balance the bass sound without compromising the "ease of holding" that Furuhata is particular about.This shape was arrived at with the aim of creating a well-balanced, all-purpose guitar.

The neck is made of African mahogany with an ebony fingerboard, and the neck grip is a slightly thicker "Slim V" than the extra-slim necks of recent years. The 44mm nut width provides a comfortable grip, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles. The neck also features a carbon support, ensuring rigidity and instant response.

The overall design is modern and characteristic of Furuhata, with a bold appearance featuring a single wood ring made from koa wood and intricate details at key points, including the ferrule. The elbow contour, a distinctive design characteristic of Furuhata's custom shop, is still present on this model, making it easier to hold and giving it the rounded, gentle feel that is characteristic of Furuhata. Ring dot position markers are used for the position marks, and the size gradually decreases as you move towards the higher frets, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail.

The coloring is inspired by a pair and is produced in two colors, natural and brown burst, but this model is finished in natural color, giving it a warmth of wood, a dignified atmosphere, and elegance.
