(Personally, I prefer solid bodies.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape is Dinky, not full size.\u003cbr\u003eThis is one of the differences from the Three Dots made by the same company. The tuners and bridge are HIPSHOT.\u003cbr\u003eIt has become a global standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups are split coil type manufactured by DiMarzio.\u003cbr\u003eThis is similar to the ones used when Sadowsky Metroline was made in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts distinctive features are its low noise and treble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preamp is a custom type specially designed by EMG for this model.\u003cbr\u003eIt has a simple specification that only boosts bass and treble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaturally, it fits perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen boosting, the peak of the recess in the mid-range is exquisite, and the bass tightens up stylishly.\u003cbr\u003eAt the same time, it does not lose its bass-like quality and retains its beautiful overtones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt speaks eloquently of the meaning of boosting with a 2-band EQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls are volume, balancer, tone (preamp bypass with push\/pull switch), treble\/bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the string height is low at the time of shipment, it is not as low as a custom model, and the playing feel is very good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will also be comfortable for people who normally play Fender basses with Fender-like settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe precision around the neck, which has long been particularly highly praised, is excellent, and its quality is fully demonstrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck shape is a little flat and thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is characterized by an extremely fast, speedy playing feel.\u003cbr\u003eAnd yet it has a sufficient amount of bass, with a rich, treble sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a supreme guitar that could only be made by Mr. Kikuchi making basses in the modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel：4st or 5st\u003cbr\u003eBody: Ash 2-Piece (Solid) or Alder 2-Piece (Solid)\u003cbr\u003eNeck：Maple, Thin Matte Nitro\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Maple or Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12″ (305R)\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Tusq\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 4st: 37mm, 5st: 46mm\u003cbr\u003eFret: 22F\u003cbr\u003eScale：864mm (34″)\u003cbr\u003eBridge: 4st: Hipshot 20mm Spacing, 5st: Hipshot 19mm Spacing\u003cbr\u003eTuner: Hipshot License Ultra-Light\u003cbr\u003ePickups: 4st: DiMarzio 4HC in 60’s Locations, 5st: DiMarzio 5HC in 60’s Locations\u003cbr\u003ePreamp: Kikuchi Guitars Original Preamp\u003cbr\u003eControls: Master Volume, Pickup Balancer, Passive Roll Off Tone (w\/Pull Switch for Preamp Bypass), Treble\/Bass Boost\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Polyester\u003cbr\u003eStrings: 4th: D’Addario .045 – .105, 5th: D’Addario .045 – .130T\u003cbr\u003eCase: Original Semi Hardcase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGIB craftsmen will adjust the strings to make them easier to play before delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessories: Semi-hard case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText: Saga Shunsuke\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspector: Hayakawa\u003cbr\u003eProduct photos: Miura\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturer warranty included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◯ About GIB and TONIQ warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e● Maintenance free forever\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor instruments purchased at our store, you can use the “string vibration setup” (normally 4,400 yen) free of charge forever.
