While retaining the style of Headway’s flagship model, the “HD-115”, this model features a complete overhaul of its specifications and design, developed from the ground up by the artisans of the Aska Team Build in collaboration with Headway’s founder, Yasuo Momose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, “The Eagle” opens a new chapter with the use of the Japanese tonewood “Kuro-Ezo-Matsu” or “Black Ezo Spruce”. By pairing “The Eagle” design with Black Ezo Spruce wood, one of Japan’s premier tonewoods, selected from materials that meet the criteria for use as an acoustic guitar top, a new model has been born that fully realizes both the wood’s inherent potential and “The Eagle’s” sound concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"is-style-default\"\u003eThe Potential of Black Ezo Spruce as a Tonewood\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Adirondack spruce” is renowned as the premier top wood for acoustic guitars. Black Ezo Spruce boasts a dynamic tone and rich overtones that rival even Adirondack spruce, demonstrating high potential as a tonewood.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough this material is highly prized and scarce due to the decline of natural forests in its native Hokkaido, this project was made possible by utilizing stock that Aska Workshop had secured and managed in the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Black Vertical Gradation”, Inspired by Black Ezo Spruces\u003cbr\u003eThe body top’s coloring is also inspired by Black Ezo Spruces, featuring a gradient of a uniquely formulated “black” with an ink-black base.

Featuring a tone with well-defined articulation in every note combined with a resonant body resonance in the low end, all wrapped in harmonics, this well-balanced sound stays true to the traditional Headway sound while hinting at new possibilities for the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA design that symbolizes -The Eagle-\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Eagle Symbol and Crown Logo\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brand logo is inspired by the eagle, the king of the skies, and features the “Headway Crown Logo” design, which symbolizes royalty.\u003cbr\u003eHeadway has reimagined the “Eagle”,a symbol the brand has used since its founding.
