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

'Varita CUSTOM GUITAR' was completed by studio musicians who are required to play a variety of performance styles and sounds! !

In addition to the basic design of Soltar made in the USA, it is fully supervised by Mr. Shozo Shimura, who has maintained and set up the guitars of famous guitarists such as Mr. Masaki Matsubara and Mr. Tsuyoshi Kon, which is what guitarists want. A Made in Japan model with every detail and nuance and sound.

The basic structure is a simple 5053 model with bolt-on specifications and uses this alder material for the body. The neck material is maple with sufficient irregularities removed, and a high-quality rosewood fingerboard is used. The neck grip has a slim and smooth neck shape that won't stress you out when playing chords or lead plays. The fret size is medium size, 22F, and the fingerboard radius is 10R and flat. It is handmade and inherits the width, thickness, and shape that have been the standards of USA Soltar.
The joint of the neck and body is heel cut into a slant, and the back of the cutaway on the 1st string side is also deeply processed, allowing you to play in a high position even when the neck is upright or facing forward. Excellent in sex. The neck pocket, pickup cavity, etc. are also processed to the bare minimum. This has been determined through careful calculations to create a structure that can withstand long periods of performance.

Professional specifications with careful attention to hardware! !
The machine head is a magnum lock type peg with a lower post height from the 6th string to the 1st string, which does not require a string guide. Not only can you always keep the strings in the same condition when changing strings, but it also improves tuning stability.
The bridge is equipped with Wilkinson VS-100, which is familiar to custom guitars. The two-point support structure provides smooth arming and tuning stability, and the unique saddle shape produces a fat sound that produces wonderful sustain.
The finest sound produced by handcrafting carefully selected wood and equipping it with carefully selected hardware is superb. Even when played live, the sound of the strings bouncing off the neck makes you feel that the sound is thick and has great sustain.

'Raw Vintage RV-PAF & RV60rwrp' is mounted on the pickup that conveys that wonderful sound to the amplifier. Not only is it reminiscent of Vintage pickups, but it also responds sensitively to picking and faithfully expresses the nuances that bite into your fingering. It has a well-defined sound with excellent separation of sounds, and even when distorted, the core remains firm and will not collapse. Warm sound with brightness and extension due to picking nuances. It's a wonderful sound that also shows its power when tapping. Since the pickup cover is not plated, dullness and corrosion may occur at the time of sale, but please note that this is due to the characteristics of the parts.
In the control section, in addition to the normal 5-position SW, 2 positions are added by pulling up the tone knob: [Front/Middle/Rear] and [Front/Rear]. The [Front/Rear] mix that can be effectively used in the recording field provides a cutting sound that you can play forever.
You will be fascinated by the clear sound, which has a completely different granularity, including an attack feeling that feels like a natural limiter.

The volume pot uses a CTS pot. The strong carbon element structure provides outstanding durability, and the number of contact points is 2 more than the standard 5 points, reducing loss.
A directron capacitor is used for the capacitor. By cutting out unnecessary overtones, you can get a comfortable sound that won't be drowned out even in an ensemble. The setup by Mr. Shozo Shimura, who has created the setup required by the guitarists who have supported the music scene, brings out not only smooth fingering but also the original sound.
Even if you set it to your preference, there is no doubt that it will be a guitar that you will be satisfied with because it has high original potential.
Not only a technical design, but also enough to function on a professional guitarist's stage or studio...
