Saito Guitars / S-724 Alder Rosewood Hardtail Gray Black [03]

Great for those just starting out on the 7-string!
High-cost 7-string made in Japan by a domestic workshop!

Saito Guitars has a workshop in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture.
The workshop's first solid model "S Series" introduced in 2015 is impressive for its simple and lean design that pursues "functional beauty" and "playability".
In three years, the total number of units shipped has exceeded 1,000, and the brand continues to grow rapidly, with a dramatic increase in the number of loyal customers over the past few years.

The company has established a high-precision and efficient production process that makes extensive use of CNC machines, achieving stable production volume and cost reductions without compromising quality.
On the other hand, the company's own pickup "SAYTONE," which is the core of the sound, is hand-wound, showing the pride of a "Japanese workshop" that not only improves efficiency but also takes the time and effort necessary for the instrument.

S-724 is a seven-string model with 25.5inch long scale and hardtail bridge.

The body is made of 2P alder.
The body has a curved top shape, and only the top surface is colored, a look that is synonymous with Saito Guitars.

Neck is made of hard maple with Indian Rose fingerboard.
The characteristic design of the first string fingerboard edge extending into the head is intended to prevent the head from twisting after many years of use.
The scale length is 648mm long scale, the fingerboard R is 14-16" compound, and the frets are Jescar nickel silver.

The body finish is a thin matte urethane finish, which is both easy to maintain and resonant.
Joint plates are made of original aluminum 5mm thick.
The joint screws are bolt joints with nuts embedded in the neck side, instead of the usual wood screws.

The neck shape, named "Versatile Grip," is a thin oval shape.
The grip is moderately thick and has a sense of security in terms of neck strength.

Hardware is made by Gotoh.
Rotomatic type trim-lock pegs SG381 MG-T and 510FX-7 hardtail bridge are mounted.

Pickups are Seven Sledge on the front and Seven Bore Up on the rear.
Controls include a 3-way lever switch for PU selection, 1Volume/1Tone, and a Push-Push Tone control for coil tapping.

The sound is impressive first of all for its "sharpness" and "quick startup.
The "speed" directly connected to the high-precision manufacturing, which is a characteristic of "Saito Guitars," stimulates the senses.

The rear pickup has a thick mid and a tight low end, and the zaggy drive is very comfortable.
The front pickup has a sparkling, clear, and warm sound, but is not boomy.

The hardtail bridge provides a comfortable pitch feel, which makes it possible to use the 7-string to play riffs and other sounds with great ease.
The rich expressiveness of the clean tone is also recommended for solo guitar playing with spatial effects.

The low action feel that comes from the high-precision processing and setup is something we hope you will experience.
Saito Guitars is the only place where you can find a Japanese-made guitar at such a reasonable price.
Please take this opportunity to try it out.
