Headway The Eagle/STD Type F B-GRD

Founded in 1977, Headway, with a history spanning over 45 years, released "A Completely New Headway" in 2023, entrusting its aspirations to soar into a new era.

While retaining the style of Headway's flagship model "HD-115," this model features a completely revised set of specifications and features, and was jointly developed from scratch by the craftsmen of Aska Team Build in collaboration with Headway founder Yasuo Momose.

Its name is The Eagle.

The design has been refined based on the "Eagle" motif, which has been featured as a trademark on previous Headway models.
Inspired by the eagle, the king of the skies, the Headway logo on the headstock features a new design shaped like a crown.
Momose himself has a special feeling for "The Eagle," which has been reconstructed by his beloved apprentices, whom he has nurtured throughout his life as a craftsman.

And now, Headway The Eagle is finally available in the Standard Series.

Technically backed playability and sound, New bracing heralds a new beginning.
Based on the standard bracing used by Momose when Headway was founded, custom builders Yasui and Furihata have incorporated modern arrangements and redesigned it, resulting in the first-ever adoption of the "Mid Point Shifted X Bracing." In addition, the "Shallow Scalloped" specification, which features shallower bracing than usual, has previously only been used in Momose's Custom Shop models, but has now been incorporated into The Eagle for the first time. The sound boasts a well-balanced tone with clear, articulate notes combined with a resonant bass, all enveloped in harmonics. While retaining the established Headway sound, it also suggests new possibilities for Headway.

The Eagle's iconic design crown logo and head inlay brand logo are inspired by the eagle, the king of the skies, and the 'Headway Crown Logo,' meaning crown, shines brilliantly.
The inlay features a redesigned "Eagle," a symbolic motif that Headway has used since its founding. It captures a scene of an eagle spreading its wings and soaring through the sky, symbolizing flight into a new era.

The fretboard inlay depicts eagle feathers fluttering down. Eagle feathers are said to guide the path forward and play a role in propelling you to success in the future, and this design represents Headway's wish for a new beginning, and for everyone who owns this instrument.
Soundhole cover
The Standard Series The Eagle is based on the theme color "blue," giving it a refined impression.
The soundhole cover has several benefits, including moisturizing the inside of the body and reducing feedback.

The soundhole label, featuring the sharp gaze of an eagle, is also based on the theme color "blue," stimulating a quiet sense of challenge.

The Blue Eagle, designed to match the theme of the Standard Series.
To best express the theme color "blue," a deep blue gradient was applied to the top of the body.
The beautiful finish, which gives an even more refined impression, overwhelms the viewer.
