It all started when we heard about the damage caused by pine weevils, which had become a major problem in Nagano Prefecture, where our company is located. We learned that pine with worm holes, knots, or stains was not preferred for its intended use as furniture or building materials, and that much of it was incinerated. This led to the idea that we could use it to make guitars, and so the \"Red Pine Guitar Project\" was born.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Akamatsu guitar with a completely new design\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While retaining the German curve on the outer periphery of the body, which was a trademark of the original Akamatsu guitar, the CONTINENTAL guitar has a retro look that makes it seem as though it was discovered decades ago in an old garage. Its distinctive body shape was likened to the name CONTINENTAL, which means \"continent.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Aged processing that brings out individuality\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The knots and stains of the red pine are seen as unique features, and the body, headstock, and metal parts have been aged to blend in with the overall design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Modernized and practical specifications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contrary to its appearance, the controls and specifications have been updated to modern standards, with a design that is player-oriented and designed for actual use on stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆ Indian rosewood fingerboard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The neck is made of Indian rosewood, a classic material for fingerboards, and features binding on the sides of the fingerboard and smaller-than-usual dot position marks for a sophisticated look.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ◆Bacchus STP-1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This guitar is equipped with Bacchus' original P-90 type \"STP-1\" pickup. The wide-turn pickup's distinctive sharpness and depth at the neck position combine to create a tone that's both crisp and deep, while the dry, chunky tone at the bridge position provides high versatility and expressiveness. This pickup is a perfect match for the red pine body, which is known for its light sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody: Akamatsu 1p\u003cbr\u003e Neck: Maple\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard: Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e Fret: SANKO SBB214\u003cbr\u003e Nut: Bone\u003cbr\u003e Machineheads: GOTOH SD91-05M MG\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: GOTOH GTC-101\u003cbr\u003e Pickups: Bacchus STP-1\u003cbr\u003e Controls: 1Vol, 1Tone, 3way Switch\u003cbr\u003e Scale: 648mm (25.5 inches)\u003cbr\u003e Width at Nut: 42mm\u003cbr\u003e Radius: 310R\u003cbr\u003e Finish: Top Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e Strings: Elixir NANOWEB Light(.010-.046)\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: Protective case, warranty card, wrench\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Approximately 3.07 kg","brand":"Bacchus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43038253613169,"sku":"851777","price":1724.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/CONTINENTAL_AKAMATSU_25_R__2Tone_Sunburst-Aged___0318__Hotel_Buena_Vista_Exhibition_Special_Model__01.jpg?v=1772433850","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/ko\/products\/851777","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
