Description
Japan Tune-up’s first model with Sakura wood back & sides
Introducing the inaugural Japan Tune-up Series model crafted with Sakura, or Japanese cherry wood, for the body—previously reserved for only high-end models. This model not only lets you experience the distinctive and vibrant sound of Sakura wood, but also features a coloring and design that reflect our extensive expertise in cherry blossom guitar production, infused with the enchanting allure of Japanese cherry blossoms.
This model features “JS” in its name, signifying “Japanese Sakura” to highlight that the guitar is crafted from Japanese cherry wood. The back and sides are constructed from laminated Japanese Sakura wood.
The finish showcases a transparent gradient, a result of over ten years of expertise in manufacturing cherry blossom guitars. This technique enhances the allure of the distinctive grain found in cherry blossom wood, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind.
The headstock and fretboard feature a stunning cherry blossom design, commonly found on various Sakura guitar models. Crafted from natural mother-of-pearl shell, the material alters its light reflection based on the viewing angle, enhancing the guitar’s distinctive character and ensuring it truly stands out.
The fretboard is crafted from high-density micarta, known for its dark appearance similar to ebony and outstanding durability.
