Myrtle is a wood native to the west coast of North America. It has a distinctive grain pattern with whitish areas and light brown to light green areas and is also characterized by its flame grain.
Myrtle wood is not too hard nor too soft, and has a clean response like maple and a sweet tone in the mid-low range like mahogany, giving it a high potential as a tonewood.
This model features “Flame Myrtle,” a beautiful flamed wood, and is finished in a way that allows the player to enjoy not only the sound but also the looks to its fullest.
This model features a small, thin body and a short scale of 628mm, making it easy to play and easy to handle with a responsive sound, making it a perfect choice for players who have switched from electric guitars.
Another feature of this model is its “elbow contour” design. The part where the elbow meets the body when the player holds the guitar is widened, making the HSJ model easier to hold and easier to play, even though it has a deep body.
Since this process requires more manufacturing steps and is more difficult, the techniques used on high-end models and hand-crafted guitars are used on this JT series model.
