{"product_id":"05-2800005681284","title":"[SN 537] USED KIKUCHI GUITARS \/ Hermes M70-4 TWH [05]","description":"Virtually Unused! The Hermes Full-Size \u0026amp; 20F “70” Series Has Arrived!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe new “70” Series has arrived, featuring a full-size body, a 20F neck, and ’70s-style pickup placement—each element blending “exquisitely” to create a distinctive tone.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nUnlike the standard Hermes series with its versatile specifications, this model incorporates traditional ’70s specifications throughout, delivering rich lows and crisp, dynamic highs. The combination of two volume controls allows you to freely adjust the volume of each pickup, greatly expanding the range of tone variations a player can create.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe neck features a 20-fret fingerboard, producing a crisp, snappy, and punchy tone during slap playing.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe 4-string model features a slightly more pronounced 10″ curved fingerboard, making it easy to produce comfortable ghost notes and enabling players to achieve the powerful “chop tone” that many envision.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe 5-string model features a familiar 12″ fingerboard, enabling smooth yet powerful playing. It delivers a sound with a strong presence across a variety of genres.\u003cbr\u003e \nTo accommodate a wide range of playing styles and musical genres, the string action is uniformly set across all fret positions, delivering a powerful tone for aggressive picking and a warm, enveloping tone for gentle, sweeping fingerstyle playing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe body features a full-size shape that absorbs sharp, powerful input to produce a commanding tone. It boasts the boundless, rich bass characteristic of a full-size body, creating a thick, warm, and natural wooden resonance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nAsh is used for the body. Its dry, punchy tone blends exquisitely with the rich, powerful tone inherent in the full-size shape.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe bridge pickup features a ’70s-style placement, positioned closer to the bridge. When mixed with the neck pickup, it produces a clear, crisp tone.\u003cbr\u003e \nAdditionally, when fingerpicking with your fingers resting on the bridge pickup, your picking position naturally shifts toward the bridge, allowing you to produce a tight, well-separated tone.\u003cbr\u003e \nFurthermore, instead of a pickup balancer, the guitar features classic 2-Volume controls. Since the volume of each pickup can be finely adjusted, this greatly expands the range of tone variations available when blending the pickups.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nPickup fence pre-installed\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nModel: 4st\u003cbr\u003e \nBody: Full Size \/ 2-Piece Ash (Solid)\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck: Maple, Thin Matte Nitro\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard: Maple\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard Radius: 10″ (254R)\u003cbr\u003e \nNut Material: Tusq 4st: 37mm\u003cbr\u003e \nFrets: DHP24H, 20 frets\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 864 mm (34″)\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Finish: Poly\u003cbr\u003e \nHardware Color: Chrome\u003cbr\u003e \nBridge: Hipshot, 20mm Spacing\u003cbr\u003e \nTuners: Hipshot License Ultra-Light\u003cbr\u003e \nPickups: DiMarzio 4HC (70s-style pickup positions)\u003cbr\u003e \nControls: Neck Volume\u003cbr\u003e \nBridge Volume\u003cbr\u003e \nPassive Roll-Off Tone (with pull switch for preamp bypass)\u003cbr\u003e \nTreble\/Bass Boost\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings: D’Addario Nickel\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Original Semi-Hard Case\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition: A+: Like-new condition\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 537\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 2026\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: Japan\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Original Semi-Hard Case\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 3.68 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: No issues; checked up to 60 degrees to the left and right—no problems\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Wear: No issues; in like-new condition\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, or other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
