Sago is a handmade guitar brand based in Hyogo that specializes in fully custom-made guitars that fulfill all customer requests.
Their regular models (although most of them are one-offs), created using the knowledge and skills they've cultivated over many years, are also highly acclaimed.
Sago is also a brand trusted by musicians.
Sago artists include Tabuchi from UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, RIO from Mary's Blood, and Kusakari from Sakanaction.
This model is a JB replica custom-ordered from GIB.
The body is alder.
I'm drawn to the gorgeous color with its flakes.
One thing worth noting is the use of carbon fiber for the neck.
They say they've achieved a balance that prevents it from being too stiff, and it actually gives the sound a strong organic nuance.
A neck that's too strong can give the sound a strong inorganic nuance, which can have a negative impact, but I don't feel that with this model.
The bridge is a Gotoh CBB-4, and the nut is also made of carbon fiber.
The CBB-4 is an extremely lightweight bridge, allowing the instrument's vibrations to be fully transmitted.
The pickups are original Lx Humbuckers.
Both pickups can be tapped by pulling the tone knob.
This guitar has a fat, powerful tone, yet a wide range and a light feel.
This guitar combines the high playability of a JB-type guitar with a unique and appealing sound.
