Extended sustain
The Extra Folk body, which extends from the top 100mm from the top and 120mm from the bottom, provides a rich bass. It is a unique body form of the Hex guitar similar to a typical grand auditorium body.
Craftsmanship
Natural woodworking
Vacuum pressing & natural wood drying combined technology gives you a more solid sound. After the glue penetrates the pores of the wood sufficiently, it is bonded by slowly applying pressure to increase vibration and durability.
※ Although heat-drying and hot-press methods expedite the building process, they cause the adhesives to harden, interfering with the wood’s natural resonant qualities.
Neck
Sturdy without deformation
The Indonesian mahogany neck is built of three-stage drying to minimize deformation. It has a standard-C type profile with players prefer.

Wood drying
Three stages of drying
The wood is dried by natural, thermal and high frequency vacuum drying. In the case of high-frequency vacuum drying, moisture is removed from the inside of the wood, so there is little splitting or distortion coming from drying.
※ Only carefully selected timber that is well dried and seasoned is used.
Fretboard
Hard and even frets
On rosewood fingerboard, the 160Hv frets with 30% increased hardness deliver a durable and clear sound. It also reduces the risk of the fret lifting.

Bridge
Traditional solid rosewood
A special cut is placed in front of the bridge-pin hole to prevent pins from protruding. It also reduces dents on the bridge by string tension. By the increased angle of strings to the saddle, it will be in tune though powerful strum.

Bridge plate
Vibrating structure
Just beneath the bridge on the underside of the sound board is a discreetly affixed honeycomb-shaped solid hard maple bridge plate. Because the hexagonal structure reduces weight while reinforcing the sturdiness of the instrument, it contributes to elongating the time of sustained vibration from the sound board. Additionally, this unique bridge plate assists in balancing the whole sound of the instrument, maintaining it’s tonal character.

Finish
Thin and light
