【new】Stem / Classic Style J5 LPB Aged 4.570㎏ 【GIB Yokohama】

Stem is a brand created by Sago New Material Guitars, a handmade brand based in the Kansai region of Japan.

It's 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.

It's 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 member who applied this aging finish was formerly a Fender craftsman and was part of the team of the highly acclaimed master builder Carlos Lopez.

He mainly worked on relic finishing for Carlos's team and 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, and rich midrange.

The tuning keys are Gotoh GB528, and the bridge is made by Wilkinson.

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 delivers 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 its flexibility in focusing on high-demand order specifications, it holds its own against many high-end instruments.

It's a serious brand packed with value far exceeding its price.

Please give it a try.
