Keisuke Nishi of Keystone Guitars, you can send us a guitar any day! This SJ is unreal. Expressive, articulate, powerful yet clean—perfect for modern fingerstyle. Multiscale setup at 26.25-25.5 inches makes for effortless playability in Standard and all the way down to CGCGCD territory, and the upgraded Brazilian Rosewood and bearclaw German Spruce make sure that the voice remains consistent, clear, and dynamic no matter what tuning you’re in. A dramatically scooped rib bevel (also in Brazilian Rosewood) adds creature comfort; ditto for a soundport at the upper bout and a florentine cutaway. Additionally, Takayuki Ogawa of Ogawa Inlay Craft in Niigata prefecture inlaid a gorgeous scene of maple leaves and Mt. Fuji at the headstock and fretboard that perfectly complements the gold Alessi tuners—and the 3D Amboyna Burl rosette at the other end of the fretboard.
