【new】Alusonic / Django Standard 5 Special Edition Black 3.58kg #0325509【GIB Yokohama】

Alusonic is an Italian brand that primarily manufactures guitars and basses incorporating aluminum.

Because many elements are designed and manufactured in-house, all of their products are pure, highly consistent, and perfectly balanced.

The Django is the company's flagship model, featuring a refined body shape and unique electronics.

Its extremely light weight is a major attraction, which has a significant impact on both sound and playability.

The body is made of Sassafras.
It is similar to ash, but is lighter.

It is famous for being the first wood Fender considered for use, and has been used by several guitar brands in recent years.

The finish is applied with a thin acrylic that shows the pores.

Because it is so light, you may wonder whether it is a solid body or a chambered body, but this is a solid body.

They simply source lightweight, high-quality materials from the market.

This is a major benefit, as it produces an open sound that's not too dark, despite having 24 frets.

The neck is very slim, but its strength is ensured by the inclusion of a graphite reinforcing rod.

The pickups are JB-style in the neck and MM-style in the bridge.

These are original pickups designed exclusively for Alusonic.

Pickup wiring is selected using a lever switch, which is very unique.
Every position produces a perfectly balanced sound, and each position has a unique purpose.

For more details, please see the bottom of the description.

The preamp with a 3-band EQ is also original and was developed exclusively for this instrument.
Boosting adds volume without creating a muddy sound, and even extreme settings (such as all the way to full) produce a great sound.

It really feels like this bass, this pickup, and this preamp are a perfect match, and their excellent compatibility is only possible because they were developed specifically for this instrument.

We've sold many Alusonic Django DX pickups up until now, but this time we've released the Standard model.
The idea was to create a simpler model, so the aluminum plate on the top of the body was removed.

That's pretty much the only change, and it doesn't mean the quality is lower.

The result is a more open, classic nuance that is more pronounced in both the look and the sound.

And when you experience this model, you'll realize that the appeal of Alusonic goes beyond the beauty of the aluminum plate.

Please give this new product a try.

It will be delivered to you after being adjusted by GIB's craftsmen for ease of play.
