This is a one-of-a-kind custom thinline made by Mr. Kazuhiko Nurai, the representative of PGM (Premium Guitar Manufacture), the proud component factory in Japan, who is also well-known for Moon and Vanzandt.
Although he has retired from the forefront of PGM, his creative spirit is still alive and well.
This one is based on the theme of "ES-335 in Telecaster style," which has been well received by customers.
As expected, the key to the sound is the built-in construction, which is the lifeblood of component brands, and it offers a lighter sound than the 335 and the response of the Thinline.
Of course, it is extremely lightweight and handles much better than a 335 or other models. The body is hollow construction with a beautiful maple top and mahogany back. The neck is made of mahogany and the fingerboard is made of high-grade ebony.
Lollar Inperial HB (Standard) was selected for the P.U. for its excellent dynamics. The vintage-like midrange and the original compression of the guitar are expressed beautifully. This is a finish that should be touched by craftsman-like guitarists who want to control the guitar with their hands as well as their picking.
Modern specifications such as 22F and 305(12)R fretboard radius are used for the parts related to playability.
Combined with the ebony fretboard, it provides a very quick response. The bridge is a GTC101 6-way, ensuring accurate tuning.
From material selection, parts selection, pickup selection, and setup, the craftsman's proven eye and skill, which have been building guitars since 1978, promise musicians playability and sound that is one rank above the rest.
This is a guitar that is the perfect combination of our ideas with the best material selection and perfect setup. The word "versatile" is truly appropriate for this excellent product.
The head shape and brand logo are different, but this one can be said to have almost the same specifications as Kuwata's thin line!
