SEVENTY SEVEN EXRUBATO-STD-JT – The essence of wood, Japanese precision
The moment you pick up a Seventy Seven EXRUBATO-STD-JT, you realise straight away that this is no ordinary semi-hollow guitar. Here, every vibration, every nuance, tells a story of wood, craftsmanship and precision.
A unique take on the semi-hollow guitar
Launched in 2006 by Deviser, the Seventy Seven brand was born out of an ambitious challenge: to bring the expertise of acoustic luthiers to the world of the electric guitar. The result? A deeply organic approach to the instrument.
Unlike a conventional design, the EXRUBATO-STD-JT is conceived as a true soundbox. The woodworking, drawing on Headway’s experience, produces a natural acoustic response with remarkable harmonic richness. The sound does not depend solely on the pickups: it already lives within the guitar.
Instrument-making with a soul
Its laminated maple body delivers both clarity and definition, whilst retaining the characteristic warmth of semi-hollow guitars. Maple is renowned for its ability to project a precise sound with excellent articulation – ideal for jazz, blues or even rock.
The maple neck, combined with an ovangkol fingerboard, offers a perfect balance between attack and smoothness. Ovangkol, similar to rosewood, provides a lovely roundness in the mid-range and a natural feel under the fingers.
The bone nut optimises vibration transmission, enhancing sustain and precision, whilst the ABR-1-style bridge ensures excellent stability and fine tuning.
The Seventy Seven touch
AL2 (Alnico 2) pickups deliver a warm, expressive and dynamic sound. They offer that slightly vintage tone, with smooth highs, singing mids and well-defined lows. Perfect for those looking for a guitar capable of both subtle nuances and expressive distortion.
Flawless gameplay – Japan Tune-Up
This model is part of the Japan Tune-Up range, which makes all the difference.
Each instrument is meticulously adjusted in Japan, in the Matsumoto workshops:
- Precise fret adjustment to prevent any buzzing
- Neck shaping for perfect action
- Fret edge finishing for optimal playing comfort
The result: a guitar ready to play straight out of the case, with an immediate sense of fluidity.

Since 1977, Deviser has been crafting instruments to exceptionally high standards. From the reconstruction following the fire in 1983 to the establishment of their identity, every guitar is the result of a unique heritage.
