ALBATROSS-JAZZ-JT FMY

Introduction

※Limited Spot Production Model

ALBATROSS featuring flame Myrtle as the top wood

A limited-production model featuring beautiful flame mahogany as the top wood has arrived in the Japan Tune-up series in the form of the revived ALBATROSS. This striking wood showcases gorgeous flamed grain patterns against a light-colored grain, finished in a natural color to highlight the material. In terms of sound, it is brighter with a slightly more pronounced high-end compared to the standard spruce top models.

Rope binding that accentuates the distinctive JAZZ model character

Not only the top wood, but the binding type has also been changed from the basic model. Narrow rope-style binding adorns the body’s perimeter, further accentuating the JAZZ model’s distinctive character.

Chambered body contributing to rich resonance and lightweight design

The chambered semi-hollow body design creates a rich resonance for string vibration by extensively hollowing out the interior. While maintaining thickness in areas requiring structural integrity, such as the bridge, tailpiece, and strap pin mounts. The remaining sections are hollowed out as much as possible, which preserves durability while creating a large hollow cavity, enabling a rich hollow tone from a compact body.

Furthermore, this construction makes the entire body lightweight, allowing you to experience its benefits during extended performances and when carrying it around.

The Chambered Semi-Hollow body shape follows the Japanese-made ALBATROSS design, but for its implementation in the JT series, the wood composition was revised, with the center block now made of Okoume wood integrated with the body back.

Micarta Fingerboard

The fingerboard features Micarta, an artificial material made from resin with an appearance similar to ebony. It offers excellent durability and is easier to maintain compared to commonly used wooden fingerboard materials.

Alnico 2 Original Pickups

Features the SeventySeven AL2, an original SeventySeven pickup utilizing Alnico 2 magnets. It delivers sparkling, bell-like clarity in clean tones while maintaining a warm, non-fatiguing character. When playing with drive, it produces a crisp, edgy crunch sound. This pickup inspires creativity and enables rich, expressive playing.

Equipped with Kluson® machine heads

Features Kluson® brand machine heads with smooth knob rotation and stability. Reduces tuning stress, allowing you to focus on your performance instead of having to worry about your guitar going out of tune.

SeventySeven Guitars Japan Tune-up Series

SeventySeven Guitars is a well-reputed Japanese semi-acoustic/full-acoustic guitar brand that has been seeking high-quality pure sound since its establishment in 2006, and has added a new lineup in 2020.

The new “SeventySeven Japan Tune-Up Series” is based on the guitar-making know-how accumulated over 40 years of experience since the Headway factory was established in 1977. The guitars are set up from the factory with the utmost care to ensure that they fit the player’s hand straight out of the box.

Reliable setup by our Japanese workshop

It is said that professional guitarists do not use the guitars they buy as-is, but first take them to a trusted repairman and adjust them to their preferred settings before going on stage. Experienced guitarists will shave the nuts on their own guitars and modify them until they feel just the way they like them. A good setup is a prerequisite for a good performance, and the SeventySeven Japan Tune-Up series guitars are carefully set up from the factory to be ready for action by the musician.

Perfect String Action

String action is a major factor in the playability of a guitar. We carefully adjust each guitar to the proper string action with an emphasis on ease of string pressing.

Fret processing

By carefully rounding the edges of each fret using different grades of sandpaper and steel wool, the entire neck is left such that to let the left hand moves smoothly when playing. It is possible to move as if gliding to the high frets.

Included Case

Exclusive hard case with SeventySeven logo. It protects your precious instrument.
