Deviser Special Showcase 2025

The -Deviser Special Showcase- presents limited edition and new products from each of the Deviser brands. This is the 10th time for this event, and we are proud to present a wide range of products our craftsmen prepared for this year's showcase.

A model developed in collaboration with Osamuraisan「HF-KOBOREZAKURA」

Based on the specifications of the late Yasuo Momose’s Headway Customshop Series Sakura guitars, Solo guitarist Osamuraisan’s favorite, this model was jointly developed by Headway and Osamuraisan, with adjustments made in various areas to make it more accessible. Like the original guitar, a smaller body shape was adopted, and Sakura (Japanese cherry) wood was selected for the back & sides, while ebony wood with prominent stripes was selected for the fretboard. We purposefuly designed this model without a pickguard to maximize the sound quality while embracing a simpler visual design. On the other hand, the headstock and fretboard are decorated with gorgeous white mother of pearl shell and avalon. The white mother of pearl shells depict cherry blossom in full bloom on the headstock and their petals fluttering down through the fretboard, which is made to look like a Sakura tree trunk, to more closely express the scene of cherry blossoms that Osamuraisan envisioned.

Headway LEGACY Model

The unwavering techniques passed down eternity Since Headway’s inception, our philosophy has remained the same: a “guitar that grows alongside you” that is durable and can be played with confidence over a long period of time. This philosophy, which was set forth by Yasuo Momose, who sadly passed away in 2024, has been passed on to his disciples and has become the foundation of Headway. In his later years, Momose, despite his illness, found time to research his next work. The -LEGACY- was completed based on the blueprint that Momose was proud of as the perfected form he had reached in his study, by gathering Momose’s ideas and the technologies […]

Until now, the use of Sakura wood has been limited to the high-end Customshop Series, Aska Team Build Series, and Standard Series manufactured in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, but in 2025, the company decided to make the charm of cherry wood guitars available to more guitar users at a more affordable price point.
