Through Custom Made Guitars – Part 1 – ONIBAMI-00

In June of this year, I talked to High-end Music Mr. Hatta and asked him to order a guitar for me.

And it was completed last week. The quality is very high.
Since I’m going to be doing this, I’d like to discuss a number of things through this experience of ordering a guitar.

Concept

.

The image of a famous sword with wabi-sabi.

The concept is to create a simple, traditional form with a modern sound and high playability.

We aimed for a modern sound and high playability, while keeping the appearance simple and traditional form.

The name is ONIBAMI-00 (Onikui). It’s not a chuunibyou!

Multi-scale/fund frets

.

For the frets, I chose Jescar#57110 stainless steel in Ultra Jumbo.
They are similar to JimDunlop#6100.

We also chose a fund fret construction with a multi-scale of 633mm on the 6th string side to 624mm on the 1st string side.

This is the so-called PRS scale to medium scale (approximately).

Even with these shallow changes, it takes a little time to get used to them, but after an hour of playing, you will get used to them.

Also, the nut width is 40mm.

It also has a narrow neck with a 40mm nut width.

KOGIC LOGIC – Deep Joint with Special Structure

.

I have never seen this kind of joint before.

At first glance, it looks like a two-point joint, but it is actually a four-point joint.

The queen cut allows easy access to the 24th fret.

The unique “KOGIC LOGIC” finger joint-like construction is quite strong.

Finish of leaving conduit

.

Because this is a custom-made guitar, I was tempted to use rare woods for the flashy body, but since the concept of this guitar is wabi-sabi, I decided to choose the standard swamp ash and have it finished in a single color.

The body finish is lacquer.

The body finish is lacquer.

The body finish is lacquer.
“

The body finish is lacquer, and Mr. Hatta’s idea was to leave the conduits in the finish.

The body is chambered.

The body is chambered and scaled down to 94% of its normal size.

Conductive paint sealant

.

The pickups are SSS by SUHR ML and can be handled just like a Stratocaster.

The PU cover is a special version with ebony on the fingerboard (great).

.

Conductive paint sealant inside the cavity for complete noise protection.

The bridge is a Wilkinson.

The bridge is made of machined Wilkinson and is a multi-scale version.

Oni Logo

Imprint of High-End Music

The head has the “Oni logo” on it.

The pegs were chosen to be Gotoh locking ones.

.

The sound and playing comfort

.

With a downsized body, a slightly shorter multi-scale and a narrow neck, this information gives the impression of a very delicate and thin sound, but the finished guitar sounds quite thick and has a strong bottom end.

This guitar is very easy to play because of the high precision of the woodwork, but at the same time, it has a strange toughness to it.

Well, this is all just self-satisfaction and boasting that pleases no one, so in my next article I’d like to discuss various things through orders.
