Description
A high-performance model perfect for beginners learning fingerstyle guitar!
Maurice, a Japanese manufacturer with a long history, has a wide range of fans, from legendary musicians to amateurs.
Despite their meticulous craftsmanship, they boast incredible cost performance and offer a wide lineup that covers everything from folk style to fingerstyle.
Morris, a long-established Japanese brand that dominated the folk music boom of the 1970s, also played a key role in the 2000s by developing and releasing a guitar perfectly suited to the new movement known as "fingerstyle guitar," and in spreading and popularizing that style within Japan.
Introduced in 2001 as a dedicated fingerstyle guitar, the S series gained popularity for its exceptional playability and outstanding sound, and has undergone numerous improvements since then. It remains a beloved "masterpiece of fingerstyle guitars," enjoyed by everyone from beginners to veterans, and continues to be popular even more than 20 years later.
The SC-61 is a model with superior playability, featuring a "thin body" that differs from the standard S series.
This guitar features a thin grand auditorium body with a solid American cedar top, solid African mahogany sides, African mahogany back, mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard and bridge.
The slim body makes it very comfortable to hold, even for those with a smaller build, and the excellent response and clear low end make it an easy-to-handle guitar in terms of sound. The light yet warm tone unique to the cedar top, and the fact that the body responds well even to a soft touch, makes it a guitar that is truly ideal for fingerstyle playing.
With its long scale length providing exceptionally stable pitch even in drop tuning, Gotoh tuners, a 44mm wide nut that prevents finger fatigue during intricate fingerings, and an ultra-thin neck shape, this guitar is packed with features that perfectly meet the meticulous demands of fingerstyle guitarists, making it a reliable companion.
Its appeal lies in its excellent cost performance, being entirely domestically produced, entirely handmade, and made of solid wood, all priced in the upper 100,000 yen range.
This is highly recommended as a "step-up" model for those new to the Feingar style!
