Headway HC-Essential
Traditional Post-Finishing Method
This guitar is built using Headway’s traditional post-finishing process, a technique practiced since the company’s founding. In this method, the neck and body are painted separately and then joined, demanding extremely high precision. Although it requires more time and cost than standard finishing, it produces a cleaner joint, a smoother transition, and a more refined final instrument.
During final assembly, the frets are hammered into the fingerboard after the neck and body are joined. This reduces height variation across the frets, ensuring stable, reliable playability.
Quality-Controlled in Japan
Every Headway Essential Edition guitar is inspected and set up in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture by Divider’s dedicated QC team before being shipped. Each instrument is adjusted carefully so players can enjoy great tone and comfort from the very first moment they pick it up.
