◆THE INSTRUMENTS

Find the perfect acoustic guitar amp you've been looking for. Test player: Kazuma Sotozono

Amplifiers are needed not only for stage performances, but also for various situations such as practicing at home and live streaming.
To play an acoustic guitar while preserving its original sound, an acoustic guitar amplifier is essential. We've planned a web-linked article that introduces a wide range of acoustic guitar amplifiers, allowing our readers—guitarists—to find the perfect one for their style.
Kazuma Sotozono, who has supported various artists including KinKi Kids and Sukima Switch, will test the instrument and verify its capabilities.
