-Japan Forest Series- The water, soil and air of Japanese forests that create the beautiful four seasons, the trees nurtured by Japanese forests, being grateful to the earth and li ving in harmony with nature, and taking time to enjoy music - these are the things we at Maurice Guitar value. The concept is for Japanese craftsmen to use Japanese wood to create works with a Japanese theme. It is an instrument that allows you to feel the beauty of the Japanese landscape, and by feeling that beauty, it is our hope that the sound, music, and life of the player will be enriched even more. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Maurice has a long history as a domestic manufacturer and has a wide range of fans, from legendary musicians to amateurs. The guitars, crafted by skilled craftsmen at our factory in Nagano Prefecture, boast incredible cost performance and offer a wide lineup ranging from folk style to fingerstyle. This instrument, the F-92.LC, is an orchestra model from the Japan Forest Project, which is made using rare materials from Japan. The top is made of local cedar (jisugi) from Miyazaki Prefecture, and the sides and back are made of Indian rosewood.・Jisugi (local cedar) is a type of cedar grown in Japan that has been used for construction since ancient times. It is widely used in buildings due to its high durability and low warping. It has a tone similar to cedar wood and is characterized by a soft mid-to-high range. The "Original Orchestra Body," created by Morris after extensive research, retains the easy-to-hold advantage of the classic OM shape, while ensuring a thick body to produce a rich sound. The light high mids unique to Japanese wood and the low-end edge of rosewood are matched perfectly, resulting in a thick yet crisp tone that takes advantage of the wood's characteristics. The sound has a thick tone and distinct contours, making it an excellent match for melodic fingerstyle playing. When playing chords, the rosewood's unique high transparency produces a beautiful sound. This is a conceptual piece that conveys the beauty of Japanese nature and the delicacy of handcraftsmanship. Please try experiencing the "Wabi-Sabi" that this model possesses.-SPEC- Top: Local cedar (jisugi) from Miyazaki Prefecture Side & Back: Solid Indian rosewood Top Bracing: Forward-shifted X-bracing Back Bracing: Ladder Bracing Neck: Mahogany Fingerboard: Ebony Bridge: Ebony Nut Width: 43mm Scale Length: 630mm Tuner: GOTOH/SG381-01 GG Hard case included Show more
