Headway Aska Team Built series are built by a group of the most experienced builders at our Aska workshop, in the same manufacturing processes and techniques as the ones of Customshop series built by Momose Yasuo.
ATB line often produces limited models using rare exotic wood side and back including cherry blossom and magnolia.
-ATB series' notable features-
Dovetail Joint
The dovetail joint greatly contributes to the tone of an acoustic guitar increasing articulations and sustain. On our neck, the V-shaped mortise is carefully designed to be tightly inserted into the body. This construction increases the strength of the joint section and the guitar sounds and responds as if it is made of a single solid piece of tonewood.
Post-coating Neck Joint
While the majority of acoustic guitar manufacturers finish their acoustic guitars after joining the necks onto the body, we finish the neck and body separately before they are put up together. There are two reasons why we do it. Firstly this way makes the neck joint beautifully done without a pool of coating material along the heel of the neck. Secondly it shows how precisely and tightly our neck is jointed with the body because the joint section is not covered with coating nor painting.
