This is a custom-made model that we have poured our heart and soul into, with the image of "redefining high-end Japanese models." Phoenix, the high-end brand of TUNE, a long-established Japanese brand, has released a custom-made guitar that is a modern revival of the GAP series, which was produced in large numbers in the early 1990s. Based on the neck-through GAP-518, the guitar features a beautiful, luxurious crotch walnut body top. The GAP series has a larger body than recent models, which helps the wood's resonance to be transmitted firmly to the neck, resulting in a reputation for fewer dead spots. This model also features a cored, clear sound, making it a great choice for players who move freely from low to high positions. The assembly is equipped with an original pickup and a low-noise GZP-2 preamp. The EQ controls are effective, and the TUNE/Phoenix's distinctive, powerful, and clear sound can be used for a variety of playing styles, from solid backing to flashy solos. The body finish is a natural color, intentionally chosen to bring out the "crotch walnut" wood, a major feature of this model.The texture of the rare wood is maximized, resulting in a look that is both sophisticated and imposing. The brand has made considerable efforts to keep the price down while using materials comparable to those used by high-end overseas brands. TUNE, a long-established Japanese manufacturer with unrivaled access to rare materials and the development of original parts, has created a high-class guitar that is worthy of being called a representative of Japan.GAP-518 Custom Crotch Walnut Body Wood: Crotch Walnut / Mahogany / Crotch Walnut Neck Wood: Hard Maple / 3pieces Fingerboard: Ebony Scale Length: 34 Tuning Machines: GB707 Bridge: B-5 Strap Pin: imdunlop flush mount Pickups: SWB-4 PCB: GZP-2 Knob: Ritel Controls: Vol, Pickup Balancer, Bass, Middle, Treble Trim of PCB: PU gain, notch filter Finish: Urethane Colors: Natural Strings: D'Addario, 045, 065, 085, 105, 125 Gig bag included
