Click on any photo below to enlarge
Hiro Ebata, like Michi Matsuda and Mario Beauregard, apprenticed in the shop of the great master Luthier Ervin Somogyi. Hiro is now building from his own shop in Japan and carrying his teachers work proudly within his own. This Ebata D guitar is a fingerstyle Dreadnought modeled on the Somogyi Modified D design. The Madagascar Rosewood and European Spruce body is more curvey than a standard D, so it's easier to hold when sitting and will also suit player that hold the guitar on the left leg. The deep cutaway provides easy access to the entire fingerboard. The voice is angelic, big and open, a modern fingerstyle guitar in every way. Hiro also includes elegant touches like the fine perflings on every surface including the sides and a perfectly compensated saddle.

Player Reviews:
"This one reminds a lot of my Somogyi guitar, big and open with a modern voice that is clear and articulate. The woods are gorgeous and the construction is flawless. Hiro's passion for building is clearly evident in this fine fingerstyle D. " - Paul Heumiller
"Just like it's sibling, this guitar just speaks to me. It has overtones that make it sound piano-like, yet it has none of the excessive low end that usually characterizes this kind of instrument. I would buy this guitar in a hearbeat." - Al Petteway
