D'mark Guitars is a Brazilian guitar brand that has been around since 1998.
Their quality has been highly praised, and they are gaining support not only from South America but also from European and American musicians such as Andrew Gouche.
This model is a Special Reserve Series specially assembled for Japan by order from GIB.
As Brazil is rich in forest resources, high-quality wood is freely combined to create a beautiful base.
The top of the body uses a beautiful Mappa Burl.
As you can see, it is super S class grade.
Brazilian Mahogany is used for the body back.
The neck is a 3 piece wood called Brazilian Hard Maple and Muiracatiara.
Muiracatiara is a wood that you may not be familiar with, but it is a wood that is native to Central and South America and is extremely hard.
Therefore, in addition to furniture and flooring, it is also used as a material for knives and guns.
The fingerboard material is Hard Maple.
A blue LED is embedded in the fingerboard, which beautifully colors the entire instrument.
The pickup and preamp are original.
Equipped with 3-band EQ, controls are volume, balancer, treble, middle, bass, preamp bypass switch, middle frequency switch switch, and LED switch.
It is characterized by a smooth playing feel, and the playability that includes this aspect has a special quality.
The through-neck sound is beautiful and eloquent, as it resonates quietly and far.
There is a nuance that seamlessly connects from the low B string to the high C string, fully expressing the player's musical sensibilities.
It's a relatively solid and sharp sound.
I think it also gives off a JB-like feel.
Although South American instruments are of high quality and unique, many of them are too unique, and there are many brands that make it seem difficult to make electric basses, which are mainly based on North American styles.
However, this brand, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, mixes North American styles and has a finish that feels more familiar.
Although the trend for through-necks has subsided in some places, this is a great item that will make you reconsider this style.
I think you'll be surprised in a good way, so I hope you give it a try.
