~About the ALBATROSS-JAZZ-JT (Seventy Seven)~
【ALBATROSS-JAZZ Model Revival】
SeventySeven Guitars' popular ‘ALBATROSS-JAZZ’ model, which had suspended new orders due to tight factory production capacity, is making a comeback in the Japan Tune-up Series!
It retains the core specifications and design elements that defined the original: a lightweight, easy-to-handle compact chambered semi-hollow body; a spruce top delivering responsive attack; and understated yet traditional aesthetics like half-herringbone purfling and small dot position markers.
【Spruce Top: A Jazz Guitar Staple】
Features a spruce top, a longstanding staple for acoustic and jazz guitar tops. Its soft wood grain contributes to rich resonance and responsive playability, faithfully conveying the player's nuanced expression.
【Chambered Body for Rich Resonance and Lightweight Construction】
Features a chambered semi-hollow structure, achieved by extensively hollowing the body interior. This creates a rich resonance from string vibrations. While maintaining thickness in critical areas requiring structural integrity—like the bridge, tailpiece, and strap pin mounts—the rest of the wood is hollowed out as much as possible. This creates a large hollow space while preserving overall sturdiness. This construction also lightens the entire body, offering noticeable benefits during extended playing sessions and transport.
【Subtle Yet Traditional Adornment】
Tortoiseshell-pattern binding and half-herringbone purfling decorate the body's perimeter.
【Tortoiseshell Accent on the Center Split of the Back】
Featuring tortoiseshell binding, half-herringbone purfling, and small dot position markers, it faithfully follows the distinctive design of the original ALBATROSS-JAZZ. Subtle accents throughout unify the guitar's overall design.
【Purchase Bonus: “Original Pick & Sticker”】
Small position markers stand out beautifully against the black Micarta fingerboard.
【Alnico 2 Original Pickup】
Equipped with the SeventySeven original pickup, the “SeventySeven AL2,” featuring an Alnico 2 magnet. It delivers a sparkling, bell-like clarity in clean tones while maintaining a warm, non-fatiguing character. When driven, it produces a crisp, edgy crunch sound. This pickup inspires the player's creativity, enabling rich musical expression.
【Standard Kluson Tuners】
Features Kluson® brand tuners, offering smooth knob rotation and stability. This reduces tuning stress, allowing you to focus on your playing.
【SeventySeven Guitars Japan Tune-up Series】
Since its founding in 2006, SeventySeven guitars has been well-received as a domestic semi-acoustic/full-acoustic guitar brand dedicated to achieving high-quality natural resonance. In 2020, a new lineup was added.
This new “SeventySeven Japan Tune-Up Series” draws upon over 40 years of guitar-making expertise cultivated since the Headway factory's founding in 1977. To empower players to create rich musical expression, we meticulously adjust every detail directly affecting playability—such as the neck and frets—and carefully set up each instrument at the factory to feel comfortable in the player's hands right out of the box. We invite you to pick one up and experience its playability and sound for yourself.
【Reliable Setup by Japanese Craftsmen】
It's said that professional guitarists don't use a guitar straight out of the box. They first entrust it to a trusted repair technician to adjust it to their preferred settings before taking the stage. Veteran guitarists who are deeply familiar with their instruments often shave the nut themselves, making adjustments until they achieve their desired playing feel. A solid setup is fundamental to great playing. The SeventySeven Japan Tune-Up series undergoes meticulous setup at the factory stage, ensuring it's ready for musicians to hit the stage immediately.
【Optimized String Height for Easy Fretwork】
String height significantly impacts playability. Each guitar is carefully adjusted to an optimal height prioritizing easy fretwork.
【Rounded Fret Edges】
Using different grades of sandpaper and steel wool, we carefully round each fret edge. This ensures smooth left-hand movement, allowing effortless gliding even to the highest frets.
【Included Dedicated Hard Case】
A dedicated hard case featuring the SeventySeven logo. It provides solid protection for your valuable instrument.
