{"product_id":"872629","title":"Headway HF-SHIKIZAKURA'26\/ATB Headway","description":"This 2026 limited edition model captures the fantastical nighttime scenery created by the cherry blossoms and autumn leaves of Obara.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Headway Aska Team Build Series 2026 model 'HF-SHIKIZAKURA'26\/ATB' is inspired by the \"Shikizakura\" cherry blossoms that bloom in the Obara district of Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This special guitar incorporates the fantastical scenery of the four-season cherry blossoms, which bloom twice a year in spring and autumn, and the vibrant autumn leaves, into the overall design of the instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The theme for the 2026 model is \"Night Sky.\" The color scheme, \"Shikizakura Night Gradation,\" expresses a beautiful gradation where the red of the Shikizakura cherry blossoms blends into the deep night sky. The headstock features Shikizakura cherry blossoms and autumn leaves illuminated by the moonlight, while the back of the body depicts a woman looking up at the scenery while holding a Japanese umbrella, allowing you to enjoy different expressions depending on the viewing angle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, the cherry blossom inlay uses actual pruned branches from four-season cherry trees, donated by the Obara Tourism Association in Toyota City. By incorporating locally sourced materials, the design imbues the piece with a special story beyond mere aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The body top is made of Sitka spruce, and the sides and back are made of domestically produced mountain cherry wood. The rich low-mids due to the hard material unique to mountain cherry wood, and the sweet, warm sound that is characteristic of cherry wood are its charms. Maple is placed in the center of the back, and the finish enhances the beauty of the wood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The bracing utilizes a semi-forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing system, uniquely developed by Headway Master Builder Yasuo Momose after studying the structure of a 1934 vintage guitar. This results in excellent bass response and a rich, full sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The neck features Headway's thinnest ever \"Extra Slim U Grip.\" The high-strength neck design, incorporating a carbon bar, achieves both high rigidity and excellent playability. The thinness allows for smooth fingering, and the clear high-frequency response is another major appeal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is a special acoustic guitar for 2026, combining beautiful design, the appeal of domestically sourced wood, and Headway's signature reliable engineering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Top: Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003e Body Side \u0026amp; Back：Yamazakura with Kaede Centerpiece\u003cbr\u003e Neck: African Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Nut: High-Density Oiled Bone (Buffalo bone preserved in oil)\u003cbr\u003e Saddle: High-Density Oiled Bone (Buffalo bone preserved in oil)\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Machineheads：GOTOH(R) SG301 AB01 GG\u003cbr\u003e Frets: HHF-AG2S\u003cbr\u003e Scale: 628mm (24.7 inches)\u003cbr\u003e Neck Grip: Extra Slim U Grip\u003cbr\u003e Nut Width: 43mm\u003cbr\u003e Bracing: Semi Forward Shifted, Scalloped X Bracing\u003cbr\u003e Finish: Thin Urethane\u003cbr\u003e Strings: Elixir(R) NANOWEB Light (.012-.053)\u003cbr\u003e Color: SZN-GRD (Shikizakura Night Gradation)\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: Hard case, hex wrench, warranty card, soundhole cover","brand":"Headway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68708277518449,"sku":"872629","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/872629_01.jpg?v=1794364946","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/zh-hant\/products\/872629","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
