Headway / HJ-CB Polestar

[Comment from the person in charge: Mochizuki]

A "sound sculpture" where the soul of the craftsman and the mystery of nature resonate.

This guitar is not just a musical instrument.

It is a "work of art" that crystallizes the story residing in a single piece of wood and the sensibility of the craftsman.

The body top uses special cedar wood grown within the grounds of Nikko Toshogu Shrine, a sacred site in Japan. The rich, delicate sound produced by the wood grown in this sacred land possesses a gentle quality that subtly permeates the listener's heart.

The sides and back are luxuriously crafted from the highest grade quilted mahogany. Its flowing grain is so beautiful that it needs no embellishment, captivating the viewer's gaze. The neck is made of rare quarter-sawn Honduran mahogany, achieving rich bass tones while carbon reinforcement ensures high stability.

Furthermore, the fingerboard and bridge are made of exotic ebony, enhancing playability and tonal responsiveness.

Even more noteworthy is its artistic appearance. The black and gold resin art on the pickguard and headstock is handcrafted by skilled painters at the Asuka factory. The way the gold, like twinkling stars, emerges from the deep, cosmic black exudes a majestic presence that could truly be called "heavenly protection."

The overall theme of this model is "the life force of the earth and the guidance of the heavens."
The wood embodies the energy of the earth, and its presence seems to be blessed by the Polestar, the star shining in the northern sky.
While it is a single guitar, with each stroke you can feel nature, the universe, and the philosophy of the craftsman. That is the true value of the HJ-CB Polestar.
