This is a rare opportunity to view limited-edition models crafted from traditional Japanese woods such as Sakura and Japanese chestnut (Tochi), as well as models made from rare woods and new releases from various brands. We invite you to come and see for yourself the appeal of the models featured at our annual Special Showcase, an event to which Deviser devotes significant effort each year.

-Yome to Ore- visiting the booth!
“Yome to ore” is a popular guitar duo known for their harmonious guitar playing and warm, friendly banter.
A special mini-concert featuring the two members of -Yome to ore- will be held at the Deviser booth!
Marco will be putting on a special live performance featuring the new signature model, the “GIN-SUNRISE”, along with other display models.
What’s more, there will even be a “Marco’s Day as Store Manager” event, during which Marco himself will personally serve customers at the Deviser booth.
Marco, who owns a wide range of Deviser products and knows them inside out, will be on hand to introduce them to our guests.
Preview Models for the Special Showcase
Preview Model
Kyozakura
Kyoto, a historic city that symbolizes Japan. Known for its numerous famous cherry blossom viewing spots, it continues to attract attention not only from the Japanese but also from around the world. In 2024, the story of the first “Kyoto Cherry Blossom Model” began when we acquired rare cherry wood harvested in Kyoto Prefecture. Then, in 2026, driven by enduring popularity and the successful acquisition of more Kyoto-grown cherry wood, a new Kyoto Sakura Model will be released.
Preview Model
PLATANUS
Platanus trees have a long history of being planted as street trees and park trees around the world, and as long-lived trees capable of living for thousands of years, they have been an integral part of people’s lives.
Headway Guitars and Momose Custom Craft Guitars are releasing limited-edition models featuring French sycamore from their respective brands.
Please enjoy this special model, designed with the theme of “France”, the birthplace of this wood material, with its essence woven throughout every detail.

JRP (Japanese Red Pine) Guitar made from red pines affected by pine wilt disease
We began making guitars from red pine in 2017. This was prompted by our learning about the damage caused by the pine wood nematode, which had become a problem in Nagano Prefecture. Pine wood with insect damage, knots, or stains is generally considered unsuitable for furniture or construction materials, and much of it is incinerated. The “Red Pine Guitar Project” was launched based on the idea of repurposing such wood for guitars. At this year’s Sound Messe, we will be exhibiting new red pine guitars with a design unlike anything we’ve seen before.
Preview Model
GIN-SUNRISE
“GIN-SUNRISE”, the new signature model from Marco, guitarist for -Yome to ore-. Unlike the previous model, GIN-FORCE, which prioritized versatility, this model was designed to reflect Marco’s personal preferences and pursue his ideal metal sound.
Featuring the newly developed “Gin Buck 4” pickup and a special finish, this guitar embodies Marco’s passion.
*Scheduled for release in August 2026

Other Special Showcase Models
In addition to the models listed above, limited-edition and new products, which will be announced in detail at the major trade show, are scheduled to be previewed.
Please look forward to learning more on the day of Sound Messe.

Exhibition of red pine bonsai by “Ominami Landscape Gardening” in Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture
We will be holding an exhibition featuring Japanese red pine bonsai created by Onami Landscape in Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture.
Mr. Furihata, a landscape gardener at Dainan Landscape, was inspired by Deviser’s project to create “red pine guitars” using red pine trees affected by pine wilt disease, leading to a collaborative exhibition that combines red pine guitars with bonsai.
Special goods for Attendees
We have prepared special gifts for visitors who stop by the Deviser booth during Sound Messe.

Premium Collection
The “Premium Collection” is a limited-edition series of one-of-a-kind models produced exclusively for special occasions such as Deviser events.
This is a special project in which experienced craftsmen pour their skill and passion into creating a single, exquisite piece using wood sourced directly from Aska Workshop’s stock. At the “Deviser Special Showcase 2026” to be held on Friday, May 22, we plan to unveil a total of 89 Premium models.
As a special feature of Sound Messe 2026, we are holding a preliminary vote to determine the most popular guitar from among these 89 models!
*Details will be announced at a later date. Please wait a little longer until the announcement.
About the Special Showcase
The “Deviser Special Shwocase” is a guitar exhibition where Deviser brand limited-edition show models and new products are unveiled all at once. These special models are crafted by skilled artisans using premium wood generously sourced from the stash of the manufacturer, Aska Co., Ltd. While the “Deviser Special Showcase” has been held exclusively online in recent years, we have received numerous requests from customers who wanted to “see the special models up close in person.” And so, to allow more people to view them in person, we have carefully selected a few models from the collection for a special exhibition exclusively during the Sound Messe event.
