Description & Condition
Description & Condition
This guitar has been leveled using PLEK, and will be shipped with a string height of 1.5mm to 2.0mm.
Stem is a brand produced by Sago New Material Guitars, a handmade brand from the Kansai region of Japan.
Stem is positioned between Sago, which specializes in custom-order production, and Seed, which achieves high quality through excellent quality control while keeping costs down by manufacturing overseas.
Stem is known for producing models that retain Sago's high quality while keeping costs down by fixing specifications and shapes.
This model is the Stem version of Sago's flagship model, the Classic Style J5.
The body is made of alder, the fingerboard is rosewood, and the neck is hard maple, a classic wood combination.
The finish is Sago's signature thin lacquer.
Furthermore, it has been given a realistic aged finish, giving it an outstanding look.
The staff who performed this aging process were formerly Fender craftsmen and were part of the team of the highly acclaimed master builder, Carlos Lopez.
Carlos's team primarily focused on relicing work, and their work was highly regarded both inside and outside the company.
The pickups are original L(x) Lite BJ5s.
These pickups are known for their thick, full-bodied, rich midrange.
The tuning keys are Gotoh GB528s.
The hardware has also been aged, and combined with the body's "Aged" finish, it exudes the look and feel of a vintage guitar that has been played for many years.
The sound has the open nuance characteristic of Stem guitars.
While featuring a strong, punchy low-mid range, it boasts a very well-balanced output from low to high frequencies, resulting in a straightforward and easy-to-use sound.
Stem is not simply a cheaper version of Sago.
With its outstanding paint quality, honed through training at Fender Custom Shop, and flexibility focused on high-demand orders, it holds its own against numerous high-end models.
It's a serious brand packed with value far exceeding its price.
Please give it a try.
