Description

This is a special edition created as part of a project bringing together the finest of Japan's leading craft traditions, held in Ishikawa, Japan. In collaboration with “Hakuichi” (Japan's most renowned handcrafted gold maker), this can rightly be called a “Gold-Leafed Guitar” edition unlike any other in the world. Countless slivers of “genuine gold” and “white gold” are arranged with the utmost intricacy and elegance, symbolizing “abundant fortune, prosperity, and wealth ever in full measure.” This is the never-fading beauty of the precious metal gold. Most notably, the inlay at the 12th fret is decorated with inspiration drawn from the “Kaga Plum Crest,” the family emblem of Toshiie Maeda, the legendary military commander of Ishikawa Prefecture, lending the guitar an added air of authority and prestige. With all the dedication of the craftsman, the Headway HD280 Custom is a truly exceptional piece, made from carefully selected premium materials and built with all his heart by master craftsman “Arata Furihata” (a supreme master of the craft of building acoustic guitars). Its tone is not only refined and powerful, but it also possesses a beauty few other guitars can rival.
