MORRIS HAND MADE PREMIUM A high-cost performance model perfect for beginners to fingerstyle guitar! Maurice has a long history as a domestic manufacturer and has a wide range of fans, from legendary musicians to amateurs. Despite their careful craftsmanship, they boast incredible cost performance and offer a wide lineup that covers everything from folk style to finger style. Maurice is a long-established Japanese brand that dominated the folk music boom of the 1970s, but it was also Maurice that developed and released a guitar that was ideal for the new movement known as "fingerstyle guitar" in the 2000s, playing a key role in spreading and recognizing this style throughout Japan. The S Series was released in 2001 as a dedicated fingerstyle instrument and gained popularity for its style-specific playability and outstanding sound. Since then, it has been improved many times, and is now a guitar series that continues to be in use today, more than 20 years later, as a ``masterpiece of fingerstyle guitar'' loved by a wide range of players, from beginners to veterans. The SC-61 is a model with excellent playability, featuring a "thin body" that differs from the regular S series. The Thin Grand Auditorium body is constructed with a solid American cedar top, solid American cedar back and sides, mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard and bridge. The thin body is very comfortable even for those with small builds, and the excellent response and clear low range make it an easy-to-play guitar. The light and warm tone that only a cedar top can produce, and the body responds well to even the softest touches, make it the perfect guitar for fingerstyle playing. With a long scale and Gotoh peg tuners that provide exceptionally stable pitch even with drop tuning, a 44mm nut and ultra-thin neck shape that make it easy to play even with precise fingering, and other features that meet the precise demands of fingerstyle guitarists, this guitar is sure to become a reliable companion. Another attractive feature is that it is made entirely in Japan, is entirely handmade, and is made of solid wood, yet offers excellent cost performance at just over 100,000 yen. It is also highly recommended as a step-up for beginners to fine gait styling!!-SPEC- Body Style: Thin Grand Auditorium / Venetian Cutaway Top: Solid American Cedar Back: Solid African Mahogany Side: African Mahogany Top Bracing: Forward Shifted X Bracing Back Bracing: Ladder Bracing Neck: Mahogany Fingerboard: Ebony Bridge: Ebony Nut Width: 44mm Scale: 652mm Head Inlay: None Position Mark: Dot Head Tuner: GOTOH/SG381-B01 GG Nut Material: Graph Tech/TUSQ Saddle Material: Graph Tech/TUSQ Bridge Pins: Graph Tech/TUSQ Finish: Gloss Color: NAT Case: MHB-2 Hard Case
