Kuro

This is a high-end entry model that emphasizes not only the natural texture and color of the wood, but also its strength and comfort. As the name suggests, it is finished in a single tone with a black base, reminiscent of an organic yet chic and modern interior. The body top is made of Engelmann spruce, which is also used as a tonewood for high-end acoustic guitars. It is black in color. The sound is more dynamic and fuller than the commonly used Sitka spruce. The body sides and back are made of rosewood. The body size is based on the compact Grand Auditorium, which has a powerful tone, and the body is slightly thinner for ease of holding. The rosette on the sound hole is a single ring decorated with abalone shell, which gives it a simple yet luxurious and adorable look. The neck is made of five pieces of mahogany and engineered ebony, which addresses the inevitable warping that can occur due to the characteristics of the guitar. The nut width is 44mm, which is a standard size, but the neck grip is thin, so even those with small hands can use it with confidence. The fingerboard and bridge are made of engineered ebony and harmonize with the chic dark color. The fingerboard position marks are small abalone dots, just like the rosette, and the subtle statement brings together the overall atmosphere. The nut and saddle are made of bone, just like the high-end models, to firmly transmit the vibration of the strings to the body. The machine heads (tuning pegs) are open gear type, with historical and stylish specifications that are popular with experts. The gear part is also plated to deal with aging and improve tuning stability. The paint is a matte satin finish, and the design combines a pleasant texture with strength that will last for a long time. The natural finish that allows you to check the texture of the wood also affects the sound, bringing out the natural and warm tone derived from the wood. As a variation, the "kuro.E" is also available, which is equipped with a dual pickup system and can be plugged into an amplifier immediately. The master volume (piezo) and condenser microphone blend volume knobs are located on the edge of the sound hole, allowing you to adjust them by hand while playing.
