Saito Guitars / S-622CS SSH Indian Rosewood Greige [03]

Saito Guitars has a workshop in Kawaguchi, Saitama Prefecture.
The workshop's first solid model "S Series," introduced in 2015, is impressive for its lean and simple 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-622CS (Solid 6string 22F Classic Style) is a Classic Style model that follows the orthodox ST type. The standard design of this model is the best in the lineup, and it is easy to compare with other brands.

The body is made of 2-ply alder, the neck is hard maple, and the fingerboard is Indian rosewood.
The characteristic design of the fingerboard edge extending to the head on the first string side is intended to prevent the head from twisting after many years of use.
The scale length is 648mm long, the fingerboard R is 10-12" compound, and the frets are Jescar nickel silver.

The position mark is chosen to be "White Parloid" which can be selected as a charge-up option.

Body finish is a thin matte urethane finish for ease of maintenance and resonance.
Joint plate is 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 is slightly thicker with a firm and comfortable grip.
Due to the ingenuity of the joint, it does not feel particularly uncomfortable to play even at high frets.

Hardware is made by Gotoh.
Cruson-type trim-lock pegs are equipped with a two-point vented saddle tremolo.

Pickups are front/center Growl and rear Bore Up.
Controls consist of a 5-way lever switch for PU select and M.Volume/|F.C Tone/R Tone.
The rear tone can be coil-tapped by Push-Push.

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

The bright and muscular single coil has a rear hum with a sense of bite.
The tone is clean and organized with no unnecessary low frequencies, making it easy to create a sound and allowing for good sound removal in an ensemble.
The balance between the PUs is well balanced, and a single unit can be used for a wide range of applications, from roots music to modern pop/rock.

The low action and comfortable playability that comes from the high-precision machining and setup are definitely worth experiencing.
Saito Guitars is the only company that can offer such a cost-effective price for a Japanese-made instrument made in a Japanese workshop.
Experience the modern vintage style that covers today's needs.
