A new tonewood -Coffee Tree-

The sides and back of this model are made of Coffee Tree wood, which is native to the Middle East of the United States. Coffee Tree is a rare wood that is both hard and lightweight and is characterized by a light tone with a quick response.
As some of you may know, coffee trees for beverage use, which are mainly known to originate from Brazil and Cuba, are quite thin and do not grow large.
As one can tell just by looking at them, they are by no means trees that can be used for guitar-making.
However, the “Coffee Tree” used for this guitar is from the mid-eastern United States, and grows larger and looks different from the coffee trees that are widely used for beverages today.
Originally, Native Americans used the beans from the Coffee Tree for food and drink. European settlers, who were coffee drinkers, saw this Native American custom and roasted the beans as an alternative to their coffee and from that, also named this tree “Coffee Tree”. 

Deep Roasted Black Taste

The fun of choosing a taste according to personal tastes is the greatest appeal of coffee and coffee guitars.
For this coffee guitar, we have prepared two tastes, CLB (Cafe Latte Burst) and FBK (Deep Roasted Black).
Depending on the taste, the guitar has different specifications to obtain a tone and style that suits the player’s taste.
This one is a deep-black sharp guitar with a strong attack.

Deep Roasted Black

Not just a black color, but a deep brown “deep roasted black” color, similar to black coffee, was prepared for this model.

The position marks, which resemble a coffee bean, don’t stand out too much but still have a playful feel to it.
It has a look that blends in with everyday life and makes you want to play it on your coffee break.

Scalloped Advanced Rear Shift X Bracing

The advanced rear shift bracing shifts the crossing position of the normal X bracing to the bridge side. This makes the model stronger against the top surface, and it can be used for a long time. Compared to the 34-bracing, the sound is more balanced with the hard and light characteristics of the coffee tree, giving an articulate impression of each string sounding separate and well-balanced.
