USED ASTURIAS / EC PRO [03]

"Made in 2005! The ASTURIAS E.C. PRO—a top-of-the-line Japanese model featuring an all-solid body and gorgeous mother-of-pearl inlays—is now in stock as a used instrument!"

The ASTURIAS / E.C. PRO is now in stock as a pre-owned model.

"ASTURIAS" is a Japanese guitar brand crafted by skilled artisans in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture.

This particular instrument is a 2005 “E.C. PRO” model featuring an auditorium body, ideal for fingerpicking.

Key specifications include a solid Sitka spruce top, solid Indian rosewood sides and back, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge.

It features a rich tone from the spruce and rosewood, along with clear highs and deep, resonant lows. This guitar is versatile enough to handle a wide range of playing styles, from delicate fingerpicking to chord strumming.

It also features a gorgeous appearance befitting a high-end model, including mother-of-pearl inlays around the body and cat’s-eye inlays on the ebony fingerboard.

As for its condition, there are signs of normal wear and tear, such as scratches and scuffs, throughout the instrument. Additionally, the plating on the tuning pegs has peeled off.

There is slight warping visible on the top.

The neck has a very slight forward bow, and the string action at the 12th fret is approximately 2.0 mm on the 6th string side and approximately 1.6 mm on the 1st string side.

The truss rod has been tested for movement up to 60 degrees in both directions, and there are currently no issues with its adjustment function.

The frets maintain a playable height, with approximately 60% of their original material remaining.

Please note that the remaining height of the saddle is somewhat low, so there are limitations on future adjustments to lower the string action.

A non-original hard case is included.

The ASTURIAS E.C. PRO combines the rich resonance of an all-solid body with the meticulous craftsmanship unique to Japanese handmade instruments and elegant ornamentation.

While there are signs of aging from use, this is a highly recommended instrument for those seeking a high-end Japanese-made model from 2005.

Please take this opportunity to consider it.
