The Sugi DS496 is THE flagship model of the prestigious Japanese brand. An ultra-versatile guitar, it benefits from the impressive build quality offered by Nick Sugimoto and his team.
This custom-order model, unique in the world, is entirely handcrafted in the brand's workshop. It represents the pinnacle of what Sugi can produce, thanks to the exceptional attention to detail and the incredible selection of woods used to create this exceptional piece. Here, there are no CNC machines, no mass production. The neck is carved with a gouge and plane, the body is hand-shaped; everything is done traditionally with perfect mastery. The Sugi DS496 is a 100% handcrafted guitar. Special mention must be made of the fretwork, which is of astonishing perfection.
This DS496 Custom Order model boasts a unique selection of woods. It's built around a Honduran mahogany body with a 6A (master grade) quilted maple top, hand-selected and sourced by us. The neck is made from a single piece of Aqua Timber maple, cut over 200 years ago and submerged for more than 75 years. This exceptional piece provides superior stability and unique acoustic qualities while also being incredibly durable. The neck features a beautiful "pale moon" ebony fingerboard. Equipped with Sugi Original LH-35 pickups, it also boasts Gotoh hardware and a Gotoh VG300 vibrato. This unique, custom-made guitar features a custom "Autumn Leaf Burst" finish.
