Fujigen Expert FL EFL Yozakura FGN

Fujigen EFL Expert FL Yozakura

The flagship EFL model from Fujigen, in a stunning and rare “frozen color” finish! This one is called “Yozakura,” meaning cherry blossoms at night, and the inspiration for this finish. The colors and visual textures (the finish is smooth to the touch) are truly incredible and masterfully executed. I especially like how the entire guitar is finished this way, with the only exceptions being a silver border around the top binding, exposed natural figured maple binding along the fretboard (conveying the figure of the tree itself) and a black headstock overlay; an added touch here is the subtle section in relief, where the Yozakura pattern wraps over the headstock as a contrast to the black overlay. A rare and custom-ordered beauty.

Condition / Setup Notes

The guitar is in excellent (+) shape, with minimal if any wear to be found. It’s possible you can find a flaw if searching specifically for one, but the finish in general is very forgiving, and there is nothing that shows as obvious wear. There is some light hazing on the tailpiece hardware. Currently has a very fast setup, string height about 4/64”-3/64” from bass to treble, with light relief.
