(Personally, I prefer solid bodies.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003eThe pickups are split coil type manufactured by DiMarzio.\u003cbr\u003eThis is similar to the ones used when Sadowsky Metroline was made in Japan.\u003cbr\u003eIts distinctive features are its low noise and treble.\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003eIt fits perfectly as expected.\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003eIt speaks eloquently of the meaning of boosting with a 2-band EQ.\u003cbr\u003eControls are volume, balancer, tone (preamp bypass with push\/pull switch), treble\/bass.\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt will also be comfortable for people who normally play Fender basses with Fender-like settings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe precision around the neck, which has long been particularly highly praised, is excellent, and its quality is fully demonstrated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neck shape is a little flat and thin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a supreme guitar that could only be made by Mr. Kikuchi making basses in the modern era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 95% of the frets remain.\u003cbr\u003eTruss rod is in good condition.\u003cbr\u003eNeck is in good condition.\u003cbr\u003eBody and paint are clean overall, although there are minor scratches.\u003cbr\u003eElectrical system is in good condition.\u003cbr\u003eNo obvious modifications were found.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eControls: Master volume, balancer, master tone (push-pull - active\/passive), treble\/bass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNut width: 37.3mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge string pitch: 20.0mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScale: 34Inch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYear of manufacture: Unknown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of manufacture: JAPAN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD'addario EXL, trusted by professional musicians, is used for setup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt features a powerful attack and rich overtones, making it a standard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a high-quality string that brings out the best in the performance and character of the instrument, so please enjoy it as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt will be delivered after being adjusted by GIB craftsmen to make it easy to play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a consignment product, so shipping costs may differ from normal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Third-party soft case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eText: Saga Shunsuke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspector: Yamaji\u003cbr\u003eProduct photo: Wakatsuki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGIB 3-month warranty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e◯ About GIB, TONIQ warranty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e● Maintenance free forever\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor instruments purchased at our store, you can use the \"string vibration setup\" (usually 4,400 yen) free of charge forever.
