Rozeo [Special all-lacquer finish] Ladybug LA-CUSTOM SCM -Vintage Sunburst- USED

Description

Very Good Condition!! w/gig bag

The Rozeo Ladybug LA-CUSTOM has arrived.

This is a custom-order model in the Ladybug series. It's packed with attention to detail that sets it apart from standard models. It was commissioned by a customer.

Rozeo is a brand created by Takahiro Higuchi, a craftsman at Terada Gakki, a long-established Japanese manufacturer of box guitars.

It's popular with players of all genres and playing styles.

While Ladybugs are typically painted with urethane, this model features a lacquer finish.

The wood's texture is more pronounced and more lustrous, resulting in a more natural sound. Another distinctive feature is the thin lacquer coating, which gives it a vintage-like look.

Other notable changes include the GOTOH 510 tuning machines and a tortoiseshell pickguard, replacing black. Along with the upgraded tuning machines, ebony is now used in part of the headstock.

These three changes—the paint, tuning machines, and pickguard—result in a special specification that not only improves looks, but also transforms playability and sound.

The body shape features a pointed SCM (Single Florentine Cutaway / Curly Maple) cutaway, combining stylish style with playability in higher positions.

As the name Ladybug suggests, this guitar's small, lightweight, and easy-to-handle design makes it a delight to play.

It's incredibly easy to use, with minimal distortion even during extended playing sessions, making it ideal for relaxing at home or for plucking while traveling.

Thanks to Terada Gakki's expert craftsmanship, the guitar produces a truly authentic boxy sound that's hard to believe comes from such a small body. Combined with the lacquer finish, the instrument delivers a fast attack and a deep, vintage-like tone that's a delight to listen to.

The condition is excellent, with no noticeable scratches and almost no signs of use.

There's plenty of room for the truss rods to tighten, and over 90% of the frets remain.

The electrical system is also perfectly fine, with no issues or noise. It's in almost new condition.

This is a recommended guitar for those looking for a full-body, easy-to-use acoustic guitar, or for those looking for a guitar packed with unique details that set it apart. This is a Japanese-made custom model filled with the soul of artisans, so don't miss your chance to purchase one.
