Sugi, led by world-class craftsman Makoto Sugimoto, is renowned as Japan's premier musical instrument workshop.

The NB5 is the most luxurious NB5 ever made, with the finest woods finished to the highest specifications and packed with the best solutions available at this point in time.

Each piece has been thoroughly conceptualized, and from the look to the sound, the NB5 hits the highest price point.


------------------------------------------------


We have seen numerous reorders of the Birthstone series, but the highest point may have been reached.

This NB5 is extravagant with gemstone woods.


This time, the selection of the top wood was carried out at the local Nagano workshop.

During the last burl maple super selection festival, there was a slightly hidden "what the heck is this? Looking back on it now, there was a maple with such a high quality grain that we felt that it was hidden rather than hidden.

This model is made of that wood.

The top is made of "Fullmoon Maple," a material that may be unfamiliar to some people and may not be officially called "Fullmoon Maple.

While the maple used in the other model is extremely white, it has a warm, slightly yellowish color.

The wood has various sizes of grains in the grain, which were predictable to emerge in the coloring, so we felt it was apt to represent the feeling of jewelry reflection.

The warmth of the wood softly blends with the cooler colors, resulting in the best possible Spphire color.

It is as if the earth, as seen from space, has been dropped onto the top of the body.

As a side note, the same material is used for the high-end OEM models that Sugi receives, and the selling price is in the triple digits.


The body is made of Honduran mahogany, and the fingerboard is made of high-quality ebony.

The black atmosphere of ebony has a refinement that cannot be reached by other similar materials such as striped ebony.

The inlay on the fingerboard is a crescent moon.

The crescent moon against the earth is also a beautiful shape.

It is a new option other than the bad inlay in Sugi's high-end models, and all the textures are finished without omission.


-----------------------------------------------



On the hardware side, the bridge is a Hipshot.

We have used various types of bridges in the past, but this specification is indispensable to produce a straight, uncompensated sound.

The pitch between the strings is 19mm, and the pickups are finished with the same pitch.

The initial speed of the sound and the prevention of vibration loss are remarkable.

In terms of sound, by selecting a mahogany body and ebony fretboard, which is well known in the Sugi lineup, a sound with a rich midrange and a solid mid-low range has been achieved.

This time, it is finished with 34inch specification.


This is the perfect instrument to spend your whole life with, and we hope you will take this opportunity to try its top quality.
