Introduction

Sitka spruce from Aska workshop’s stock used for the body top

The body top material is made of Sitka spruce.
It is characterized by its rich bass sound and sparkling highs.

Singapore mahogany sides and back

Singapore Mahogany, as the name suggests, refers to mahogany grown in Singapore. However, it is not just mahogany grown in Singapore, it is the seed of the legendary “Cuban Mahogany” that was grown in Singapore.
Singapore is located near the latitude of Cuba, and the climate is similar to that of Cuba. For this reason, Singapore Mahogany is quite similar to Cuban Mahogany in appearance, as well as in density and crisp hardness.

Extra slim V neck

The image of Headway guitars has always been that of a thick neck with a firm grip for a powerful stroke. While there are people who pick up Headway guitars and like to play them because of this impression, there are also people who may have avoided them for the same reason.

For players who prefer a thinner, narrower neck grip, especially for fingerpicking styles and fast passages, we have developed the thinnest grip shape in our history!

High-strength neck

The first thing to worry about when making the neck grip thinner is the strength of the neck, but of course, we have not overlooked this. The Asuka Team Build Series is the first to use the “High Strength Neck”, which consists of an iron bar core and two carbon supports, which has been used in recent years in Headway Custom Shop products by various craftsmen including Mr. Yasuo Momose.

The thinner grip reduces the mass of the neck body, but the high-strength neck construction increases rigidity and reduces unwanted neck flex, allowing string vibrations to be transmitted smoothly to the body top.
