Description
Description This is a 2023 model, part of the Made-in-Japan series, specifically the Hybrid II with modern specs. Unlike the usual basswood, the body is made of alder, paired with a C-shaped one-piece maple neck. It features 22 narrow tall frets and a 9.5" radius, which ensures smooth playability, even during heavy bends. The guitar is equipped with locking tuners, making string changes quicker and improving tuning stability. The pickups are original, delivering a tight, punchy tone that, combined with the solid build, offers an impressive sense of quality. Considering the level of craftsmanship at the factory, it’s clear that both the times and technology have made significant strides. The pickguard shows some pick marks and slight peeling around the screws, but since the protective film is still on, it can be peeled off to reveal a clean surface underneath. There are no other dings or notable imperfections, and the guitar is in very beautiful condition overall.
