The SC-71, a cost-effective model that inherits the characteristics of the S series, a leading domestic Morris guitar that is at the forefront of the Japanese fingerpicking scene, has arrived! The SC body features the same top plate area as the S series, but with a thinner design. It's easy to hold, and the moderate suppression of low-frequency harmonics makes it ideal for fingerstyle guitarists who want to highlight melody lines in the mid-to-high frequency range. The neck maintains a consistent thickness all the way to the higher positions, thanks to its comfortable progressive thin neck construction! It's a thin, straight-type neck with minimal change in thickness, measuring 21mm at the 1st fret and 22mm at the 10th fret. The neck joint, which is angled relative to the top, keeps the string height low even in the higher positions. Despite its somewhat long 652mm scale, the instrument boasts a remarkably stable pitch and a superb finish. The nut is designed to be shifted approximately 1mm towards the bass strings (strings 1-6), preventing fret slippage on the 1st string, which is crucial for melodies. The string spacing is maintained, and this is a meticulously crafted guitar where fingerpicking style is the top priority! A meticulously crafted guitar specifically designed for fingerpicking, unlike anything else in the 100,000 yen price range. This guitar is recommended for beginners to intermediate players, as well as anyone looking for an affordable secondary guitar!Body Top: Solid Spruce / Forward Shifted X Bracing Body Side: Laminated Rosewood Body Back : Solid Rosewood / Ladder bracing Neck: Mahogany Fingerboard: Ebony Neck Width at Nut: 44mm Scale Length: 652mm Bridge: Ebony Machine Head: GOTOH/SG381-B01GG Hard case included
