Headway HD-SHIKIZAKURA’25/STD Acoustic Guitar [JAPAN HANDMADE]

Headway HD-SHIKIZAKURA’25/STD – A rare Japanese masterpiece

Limited to just 10 pieces worldwide, with only 1 available in Europe, the Headway HD-SHIKIZAKURA’25/STD is far more than an acoustic guitar—it’s a true work of art rooted in Japanese tradition.

Its Autumn Redpink Pearl finish shifts beautifully between cherry blossom pink and autumn red, dependingon the light. A mesmerizing visual identity that makes every angle unique.

 Inspired by Japanese seasons

The fingerboard features stunning Sakura inlays, blending acrylic and wood craftsmanship. The Purpleheart pickguard extends the floral theme with elegance.

The swallow motif pays tribute to master builder Yasuo Momose, who cherished their return every spring—apoetic nod to legacy and craftsmanship.

 Tonewoods that shape the sound

• Sitka Spruce top: clarity, projection, dynamic range
• Yamazakura back & sides: rich low-mids, smooth and warm tone
