EXRUBATO “ZEBRA FINCH” supervised by Kyohei Ariga
Kyohei Ariga, a guitarist who specializes in a soul-based playing style, is also sought after as a support guitarist and arranger due to his unique technique. Based on the EXRUBATO model that introduced Seventy Seven, a model supervised by a player active on the front lines will be released from the Japan Tune-up series.
Trademark head emblem
This model's original emblem is based on the pattern of the Zebra Finch, which is also the model's name. Zebra finches are actually Ariga's pet birds, and this emblem was designed and supervised by Ariga's wife, who is the designer. It is made from white pearl shell material and has an attractive appearance that changes depending on the angle of the light.
Block inlay and multi-binding
The combination of pastel colors and dog-ear type pickups creates a pop and vintage-like atmosphere, while the pearloid block inlays and multi-binding that decorate the body give it a luxurious feel. We have created a well-balanced look that is neither too "pop" nor "gorgeous".
Equipped with Kluson® pegs as standard
The pegs are Kluson brand pegs with smooth knob rotation and stability. You can reduce stress when tuning and concentrate on playing.
P-90 pickup “Seventy Seven AL5S”
For the pickup, we selected the dog-ear P-90 style "AL5S" that uses Alnico 5 magnets. Although it has a sweetness to it, it has a clear tone with a sharp edge that accurately outputs the nuances that the player wants to express.
Reliable setup by domestic specialized department
Being able to play fast passages is an important point in the neo-soul, jazz, and fusion playing styles that Kyohei Ariga specializes in. EXRUBATO-ZEBRA FINCH is equipped with a standard setup from the factory so that players can play the phrases they want to play without stress.
All products in the Japan Tune-up Series are inspected one by one at the specialized department "Workshop Deviser Guitars" in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, and parts directly related to playability, such as frets and nuts, are refined, making them ideal for serious players. We ship with appropriate setup to achieve the desired playability.
