HOM-115 D,A,S/STD

From the Headway ATB Series comes the -HOM-115 D,A,S/STD-. A model that shares materials and specifications with the regular Headway models, but equipped with a HOM shaped body.

■Deep HOM body shape

The base body shape is an HF shape with a very pronounced outline. From there, we add a 645mm scaled neck and that’s how we get to the HOM model base. With a deep body, that is really easy to hold while having a deep and intense bass to it.

■ARS bracing

The bracing of the inside of the HOM body and the front board are based on the “Advanced Rear Shifted X Bracing” design (ARS bracing) that has been actively adopted by Headway in recent years, we moved the crossing position of the X slightly closer to the soundhole for what we call our "Semi-rear shift" design.

■Fingerboard & Bridge

Both the fingerboard and bridge are made out of Richlite which is a drier, stronger material compared to wood, which mades it much less prone to craking and much more durable in general.

■Joint

The joint uses the so-called "post-assembly" process that is also used in the high-end model Aska Team Build series.

The body and neck are painted separately and then joined using the traditional dovetail construction method. The joint is the place where you can best understand the level of accuracy required to make this guitar.

The satin finish has a soft and smooth feel on the neck, and the body has a glossy finish with a luxurious appearance. The beautiful finish with no paint buildups at the joints is also very attractive.
