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 are one-offs), created using the knowledge and skills they have cultivated over many years, are also highly acclaimed.
Sago is also a brand trusted by musicians.
Sago artists include Tabuchi of UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, RIO of Mary's Blood, and Kusakari of Sakanaction.
This model is a JB replica custom-ordered from GIB.
The body features an alder body and a rosewood fingerboard, a classic wood construction.
The neck is made of beautifully grained thermo maple.
Thermo wood, originally a building material for Finnish saunas, is particularly resistant to high temperatures and humidity.
Perhaps this is due to the smooth attack and comfortable response.
However, the range and tension of the sound are typical of modern basses, and the balance is wonderful.
The pickups are the original Lx JB4.
The pickups have a slightly increased number of turns, giving them a modern, powerful sound.
Everything else is completely standard.
The sound is unique, with the distinctive low-end thump of the Sago.
While the guitar has a modern, wide range, the sound isn't diluted and the rich midrange is well-crafted, making it a perfect fit for any ensemble.
