This model is planned for release during Early August!
Headway will release a new Universe Series this August, the latest travel guitar -HT-BEETLE-.
The "HT" you see in the name stands for both “Tiny” and “Traveler”. Although both size and body shape are a bit outside of the norm for Headway, this is the type of model that the Aska Workshop has been actively making recently.
In addition, the "Beetle" part of the name is derived from its rounded body shape much like a beetle its natural habitat is the outdoors during the summer and autumn seasons.
515mm Scale
Compared to the recently released HC-630TRV, the 515 mm scale is designed with a total length of about 785 mm, which is even smaller than previous models.

We've achieved a really compact size that's easy to carry around an play anywhere with ease!
With a Trembesi Body
For the body we went with -Trembesi- wood, which has a characteristic striped pattern.
Another name for it is -Monkey Pod-, and it’s a very popular tree in Japan due to its uniqueness.
Furthermore, the area around the body is decorated with rope bindings, giving it a cute appearance.
