Sago NEW MATERIAL GUITARS

The Prime Edge is an original model from the domestic component brand Sago! This is a special model that was exhibited at Japan EXPO 2014 in Paris. Sago believes that 'Kabuki is the rock spirit that has been passed down since ancient Japan,' and has fused it with the Prime Edge, which is the most rock concept in his lineup.

The small body is equipped with a humbucker, ensuring sufficient output, while the 3-band equalizer and middle frequency change switch by Sago's original preamp SPAEQ3 allow for a wide range of sound making. The body material is made of alder wood that has been thermo-treated, and the sound is clear and has a mature nuance similar to that of a vintage instrument, and each sound is tight and clear, leaving a beautiful impression on the ears.

The body is painted with the makeup method unique to Kabuki, Kumadori, and finished in 'red,' which is used for roles with courage, justice, and strength. In addition, the position marks on the top surface of the fingerboard are also equipped with red LEDs.

Thermo Wood Thermo Wood is a technology developed in Finland, a Northern European country. It is a technology that artificially ages by performing a special high heat treatment at a high temperature of over 200, which would normally burn. Although it was originally developed in the field of architecture, it has many advantages for musical instruments. The most effective of these is 'dimensional stability'. Japan has high humidity and is not a good climate for musical instruments, but thermo-treated wood has a reduced ability to absorb and release moisture, and as a result, the expansion and contraction rate of wood can be reduced to nearly half that of raw wood. In other words, using Thermo Wood makes it less susceptible to the effects of humidity. In addition to the climate, the environment in your home or car, spotlights at live venues, and the heat of people also greatly affect the condition of your instrument. From this perspective, using it as a neck material will keep the condition stable even under harsh conditions, leading to stress-free playing. Regarding the sound, as wood ages, the cellulose and resin components decrease, but Thermo Wood also has a characteristic that creates a similar effect. Although it is not possible to reproduce all the sounds of vintage instruments, it is possible to intentionally create a vintage, mature sound.
