This is another absolutely stunning piece of art from the wonderful Ishikawa prefecture based, Kanade Workshops.
This is a luxurious build with top quality timbers and fixed neck construction for increased sustain and richer tone.
The circuit comprises P J pickup configuration with a three band preamp, active and passive modes.
It has a versatile sound set and is one of the smoothest instruments I've played.
Now, it's entirely hand made to a very high level, however, it's not quite to the nth degree like you might get on an STR or Sugi. You can see some small traces of workmanship and there are some tiny imperfections compared to some of the more expensive boutique builds I've seen, but these are tiny discrepancies that frankly don't bother me. I rather like them actually, as it adds a bit of character and tells some of the story behind the build process.
Anyway, this is by far one of the nicest set neck builds I've played under 500000jpy and it sounds incredible!
