Hello. This is Mochizuki from Advance Guitars 🤓
This might come out of the blue, but
“That vintage Gibson I’ve always dreamed of—is it really okay for someone like me to even touch it…?”
Have you ever thought that while looking at a guitar through a display case at a music store?
“I’m scared I’ll scratch it.”
“Will they think I’m just window-shopping?”
“It takes courage to ask a salesperson for help.”
Actually, as a guitar enthusiast myself, I sometimes find myself looking at instruments while having the exact same thoughts.
That’s why we’ve made this arrangement.
“We want you to feel free to play truly great instruments without hesitation‼️”
With that in mind, we’ve set up a trial booth where anyone can freely try out this 1942 Gibson J-35!
The year 1942 was right in the middle of World War II.
Having survived those turbulent times, the wood in this guitar has fully dried over more than 80 years, allowing you to enjoy a vintage sound that modern, New guitars simply cannot reproduce.
If you’re wondering, “What is a vintage sound?” please come experience it for yourself with your own ears and fingertips!
In addition, alongside the J-35, we’ve also prepared a Maton EBW808C set up by “TC-TUNE,” the same service that handles the setup for our store’s guitars.
“Repairs and maintenance are just about fixing broken things.”
That’s what I thought until I actually played a professionally set-up guitar.
But actually, the true brilliance of tuning lies in “unlocking an instrument’s full potential.”
“It’s easier to get a good sound out of it, and it’s so much fun to play!!”
“It’s supposed to be the same guitar, but in a good way, the feel and sound are completely different… it feels great!”
Please come experience for yourself how this tuned Maton feels to play.
With Golden Week just around the corner, please come visit our store.
Our entire staff sincerely looks forward to welcoming you!
