A used Ximera 5-string guitar, the result of a chemical reaction between the two brands Sonic and Sago, is now in stock! Ximera arxi 5 strings The model name of this instrument is arxi (pronounced "arhi"). It is a coined word that is a Ximera-style adaptation of the Greek word arhi, meaning "beginning." While following the JB-style design and sound, it has an original body shape that combines high playability and body balance. The alder body, thermo-treated for optimal weight, and the hard maple neck with a KTS titanium rod and a rigid lignum vitae fingerboard with a compound radius, deliver a crisp, articulate sound with a firm tone and excellent playability in the upper registers. The titanium truss rod and two titanium reinforcements ensure the neck's strength. The original Jupiter LJB-51 pickup provides noise cancellation with a dummy coil, and the original preamp's two-band EQ with adjustable low-mid (320Hz) and high-mid (1kHz) provides a clear mid-range for band ensemble playing. The guitar's sound is highly tunable, producing a modern tone with a thumping bass that's perfect for pick and slap playing. This instrument features a new wrap finish called Lava Flow, which means lava flow, and the wrap pattern beautifully expresses the appearance of flowing lava solidifying. The matte finish on the surface preserves the texture of the wrap, keeping the paint film thin and allowing the body to vibrate fully. Furthermore, the pickguard is made by T.Nakamura, a separate line of HATA brand products, by Mr. Nakamura of Hata Precision Industries, who is well-known for his HATA knobs. It is machined from A1050 aluminum and polished with an elaborate wave design. Furthermore, it is color anodized to ensure durability and a beautiful finish that matches the body color. The knobs are also HATA knobs (straight, mini, stack). Although there are some dullness and slight scratches on the parts, it is in relatively good condition. There is ample room for the truss rod and the neck is in good condition. Weight≒4.14kg Accessories: Genuine hard case
