SEVENTY SEVEN EXRUBATO-ZEBRA FINCH – A semi-hollow-body guitar with a lively character
From the very first moment, this EXRUBATO-ZEBRA FINCH makes a striking impression. Its aesthetic, which is both vintage and modern, catches the eye… but it is what happens in your hands that really makes all the difference.
This signature model, developed in collaboration with Japanese guitarist Kyohei Ariga, embodies a demanding vision of the guitar: a natural extension of the musician, capable of conveying every nuance with precision and musicality.
A guitar that breathes… literally
At SEVENTY SEVEN, we don’t view an electric guitar as merely a collection of parts. Each instrument is designed as a true soundbox.
Drawing on DEVISER’s long-standing expertise, honed since 1977 in the manufacture of acoustic guitars, this model benefits from a deeply organic approach:
the woods are selected and crafted to vibrate freely, just like on a high-end acoustic guitar.
The result?
A dynamic response, harmonic richness and clarity that depend not solely on the pickups… but on the very soul of the instrument.
Maple: precision, attack and balance
The maple body and neck deliver a highly sought-after tone:
- Crisp, precise attack
- Excellent note definition
- Overall balance across the entire frequency range
On a hollow-body guitar, maple helps maintain clarity whilst controlling natural resonance. It is the ideal choice for styles such as modern jazz, blues, soul and fusion.
A design focused on comfort and stability
The Micarta fretboard offers a smooth and consistent playing feel, whilst ensuring excellent long-term stability. Combined with a 305R radius, it provides:
- Comfortable chord playing
- Excellent precision when playing solo
- Consistent playability across the entire neck
The P-90 grain: a balance of warmth and bite
Fitted with “Seventy Seven AL5S” P-90 pickups featuring Alnico 5 magnets, this EXRUBATO delivers an instantly recognisable sound:
- Warm bass tones
- Rich, expressive mid-range
- Clear, articulate treble
The result is a perfect balance between smoothness and character, ideal for playing with nuances… and really bringing the instrument to life.
Instrument making at the service of the musician
This JAPAN TUNE-UP version has been meticulously tuned in Japan, at the Matsumoto workshops:
- Precise fret adjustment to eliminate buzzing
- Reworked nut for optimal comfort
- Action adjusted for immediate playability
Every detail has been carefully considered so that the instrument is ready to play the moment you open the case.
A unique visual identity
Inspired by the “Zebra Finch”, Kyohei Ariga’s favourite bird, this guitar stands out for:
- An original mother-of-pearl emblem on the headstock
- Elegant multi-coloured bindings
- Block inlays for a premium fingerboard
- A pastel finish with a distinct vintage charm
A perfect balance between originality and elegance.
