Baggs Anthem pickup and preamp.\u003cbr\u003e \nWhile maintaining the compressed attack and sound pressure of the Element under-saddle piezo pickup, blending it with the Tru-Mic produces a more resonant, authentic acoustic sound.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish on the Hata Motohiro J-45 has been treated with Murphy Lab’s Ultra Light Aging process, beautifully recreating the feel and atmosphere of the main guitar that Motohiro Hata has cherished for many years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nDue to dents and paint damage on the back of the neck (near the 7th to 8th frets), Gibson Brands Japan performed touch-up painting and clear coat correction.\u003cbr\u003e \n(* Please note that while some repaired areas do not feature the Murphy Lacquer or Murphy Lab aging finish, genuine paint from the Gibson factory in the U.S. was used.)\u003cbr\u003e \nOtherwise, there are no signs of wear such as picking marks, and it is in superb condition—what could be called a \"beautiful piece.\"\u003cbr\u003e \nOf course, the neck condition and remaining fret life are also in excellent shape, making this a guitar we can confidently recommend both as a collector’s item and as a working instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nIt comes with the original hard case and a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* Due to the nature of lacquer, which is prone to cracking and chipping, natural weather checking may occur even after purchase, depending on the environment in which it is used. This is inherent to the concept of this product, which is designed to replicate a vintage guitar; therefore, it is not a product defect and is not covered by the warranty.
