Don't miss out on this special guitar, customized by our staff to meet the needs of fingerstyle guitarists!
◆Deluxe series "Yellow Deluxe Gc-SR" with double contours◆
This instrument, the "Yellow Deluxe Gc-SR," is based on the "Yellow Gc-SRa," a representative model from the Yellow series (formerly the 23 series), which is the core of Forch guitars, and is a deluxe model that incorporates popular options from the custom-order Rainbow series in various places.
Its most distinctive feature is the "Bevel Duo" design, which features contours in two areas: the elbow and chest. This contouring makes the guitar comfortable to hold even during extended playing sessions, and also gives it a three-dimensional, beautiful appearance.
The position marks are liner side position marks, the binding is black cell, and the fingerboard and veneer have white contrast lines, so the fine details are different from the regular Yellow series, giving it a more chic and sophisticated impression.
The top is made of AAA grade Sitka spruce, and the back and sides are made of AA grade Indian rosewood.
The combination of the auditorium body with excellent volume balance and deep bass and the spruce top with clear, fast attack produces an extremely versatile sound that can be used in a wide range of genres.
The separation between each note is excellent, making this a great choice for players who want to bring out the bass lines and melody.
The nut width is wide at 45mm, but the outstanding playability provided by the thin neck shape has earned it support from many players.
Also, although this is a very minor difference in specifications, the bridge pins are made of ebony, which is also used in the Rainbow series, and the sound is woodier and warmer than the regular Yellow series.
Anfini Custom Works dual pickup system delivers exceptional performance for fingerstyle playing.
In order to faithfully reproduce the wonderful tone of the Forch even in line sound, the guitar 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, powerful bass, and palm sound without compromising the sound of the guitar itself.
The magnetic pickup uses "SUNRISE S-2".
This is a classic model among dual system magnetic pickups, and the S-2's distinctive looks and thick, full-bodied sound are one of a kind.
It is particularly notable for its thick bass and the sense of realism that makes it seem as if it is coming at you, and it provides a solid foundation when creating sounds that mainly involve contact, giving you an unparalleled sense of security.
This is an extremely excellent pickup that supports the delicate sound of the Contact from behind the scenes.
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!
◆The car is packed with options that are packed with attention to detail, making it even more special!! ◆
The jack uses a special "flush mount bezel" made by Infini Custom Works!
By providing a separate jack, it eliminates the inconvenience of attaching a strap that is common with regular endpin jacks, and also gives the jack a luxurious look.
※※※
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.
