MJ-TOCHI/E/IKB 50th (SELECTED PREMIUM TOCHI TOP/EBONY/PPL-GRD-MH) [Ikebe 50th Anniversary Special Edition] [Ikebe Musical Instruments 50th Anniversary Model] Using the Japanese horse chestnut (Tochi) wood, which is becoming synonymous with the Momose brand, we have created a precious model that not only boasts excellent wood specifications but also features special designs not available in our regular models, such as gradient colors and rose patterns! ■Selected Premium Tochi Top The top of this instrument uses special "Tochi wood," selected by Ikebe staff from a stock of wood carefully chosen by craftsmen at Asuka Factory. Tochi wood has a long history in Japan, having been used for furniture and building materials since ancient times, and is characterized by the fact that many pieces have a rich grain. ■Purple Gradation/Matching Head The deep wood grain stands out clearly, giving it a strong presence, and it's finished with a matching headstock in a purple gradient color. The contrast in the wood grain of the carefully selected horse chestnut wood is extremely beautiful, and it shows various expressions depending on the coloring. ■Ebony Fingerboard/ Abalone Inlay The fretboard is made of ebony wood, which has a deep black color. Compared to the standard rosewood, it is heavier, and its clear tone, responsiveness, and rich sustain add depth to your playing. Furthermore, abalone inlays are used for the dot position markers on the fretboard, adding a touch of luxury to the jet-black fretboard. ■Ikebe 50th Accent The white pearl marble pickguard and headstock feature a rose pattern specially designed for the IKEBE 50th Anniversary model, and along with the unique serial number assigned to each individual instrument, it speaks to the rarity of this guitar.Body Top: Flame Tochi Body: Alder 2P Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Ebony Frets: Jescar 9662NS Nut: Oiled Bone Machineheads: GOTOH GB11W Bridge: GOTOH 203B-4 Pickups: Momose VJ-1 Controls: 2 Volume, 1 Tone Scale: 864mm (34 inches) Width at Nut: 38.0mm Radius: 210R Finish: Top Lacquer Strings: Elixir(R) NANOWEB (45-105) Weight ≈ 4.18 kg Gig bag included
