Introduction

Osamuraisan’s signature mini guitar

Solo guitarist Osamuraisan, a popular guitarist amongst audiences that span the globe and different generations, we at Headway have decided to create a signature model in collaboration with him, giving us, as a result, the -HJ-OSAMURAISAN- (Later renewed as the follow-up -HJ-OSAMURAISANII-). In addition to these, we also created a small-bodied mini guitar, the -HM-OSAMURAISAN-, a model that balances great looks with a set of carefully applied processes like a dovetail joint and a lower string action, that give us an amazing performance too.

Unique points

■Red spider lily design

Inspired by Osamurai’s original song “Soshihana” (another name for Red spider lily), we put a Red spider lily decal on the body. The flowers are intentionally placed so that they face upward when holding the guitar.

On the 12th fret of the fretboard, we carefully added an inlay of a fox stylized in a classic Japanese style using wood and tortoiseshell.

■A mini guitar designed with ease of holding and carrying in mind

In addition to the 579mm scale and a total length of about 880mm, the maximum thickness of the body is merely about 10cm, and it is designed for easy holding. In contrast to the existing signature model HJ-OSA MURAISAN’s large body shape, this new model is a great fit not only for children and beginners who are new to guitars but also for players with small bodies. It is also suitable for carrying as a travel guitar and for playing or practicing on the go.

■Low string action

As with the HJ-OSAMURAISAN, the strings of the extra light gauge are stretched to set the string height low, these adjustments are made with the goal of “ease of play” in mind. Guitars made of wood, which is a natural material, have individual differences even while being the same model and design, but while this is the case, we do our best to carefully check the characteristics of each unit and treat them to the best of our ability here in our workshop to ensure the best quality possible is achieved and every single guitar is shipped ready in its best condition.
