Every second spent playing my 6-string is pure pleasure,

Its tone resonates throughout my body.

Clear and pure acoustic sound connects with my soul.

In our pursuit for the perfect sound, we have gone beyond looking for a better way to simply “amplify” acoustic tone, 
and focused on delivering true tone, without alteration, directly from the line out jack.
With this, we’ve added a newly developed pickup system to our electric acoustic guitar lineup. This new system is fea-
tured mostly on our LL series guitars, which is highly acclaimed for its rich, expressive tone and high quality sound.
Our A.R.T. pickup system, which lets you adjust the amount of body resonance present in the sound, offers the 
most natural, dynamic and expressive electro-acoustic tone possible. We’ve also added our new SRT pickup system, 
which offers studio quality tone, without alteration, directly from the line out jack. Both of these advanced systems 
deliver beautiful acoustic tone that can be utilized even while playing live with a band.
