Gotoh MG-T locking machine head
Roasted maple neck & rosewood fingerboard
Heat-treated maple wood is used for the neck material. By applying heat treatment, you can expect effects such as shape stability, durability against warping, water resistance, and resistance to temperature changes.
After testing and testing several different neck thicknesses, we concluded that 20.5*22.5 (at1F*12F) is the best neck thickness.
The back of the neck is finished with a satin finish, ensuring a smooth playing feel.
The fingerboard is made of rosewood, which has a sticky and mild midrange sound.
AZ exclusive Oval C (Oval "C") neck shape
Super All Access neck joint, specially designed body contour
stainless steel frets
Luminous fingerboard side dot position inlays
Hyperion pickup co-developed with Seymour Duncan
We obtained over a dozen types of pickups and measured the frequency characteristics of all of them.
From this, we determined the specifications and sound image of the pickup that is considered optimal for AZ, and created it in collaboration with Seymour Duncan, a company synonymous with pickup brands that has a long history and continues to pursue new initiatives. This is an AZ exclusive pickup.
This is a custom pickup that keeps the original sound clean even when distorted, by suppressing the output a little and focusing on picking followability and reproducibility.
From the treble to the bass, or the way the 1st to 6th strings sound, we focused on the overall balance and pursued the smoothness of the effects. The magnet uses Alnico-5.

from 18 reviewsVery quick mailing/delivery … packaged very thoroughly with abundance of bubble wrap 👍 the item in pristine condition… very easy and professional transaction… all the way from Japan even! Would definitely do business with them again.
Have done some test, love Takatsuki and also very responsive and trusted seller! Already bought 4 300b's of them and tested well with my RoeTest v11 professional tube Tester!
I bought this guitar and I am very happy with it. It had to travel half of the globe, but the shipping was fast and the seller answered all my questions via e-mail.
The guitar itself has a chunky Fretboard, but is playable with ease. As far I can tell, the electronics seem to be all good, stamp on the pickup is right, it needs more playing for further statements.
And to my biggest surprise: the guitar came almost perfectly intonated fresh out of box.
I highly recommend to at least get in touch with the seller if you're interested in one of his products.
