Ren Ferguson / Early Slope Shoulder (Advance Guitars Signature Model)
[Staff Comment: Inoue]
The defining feature of this model is the exquisite mahogany used for the back and sides—a wood so beautifully balanced and uniform that one is tempted to describe it as “creamy.” Its subdued, warm hue and smooth grain exude a profound aura reminiscent of a “pre-war vintage guitar” that has weathered the test of time.
The body shape features the classic “Early Slope Shoulder” design, which Ren Ferguson has perfected over his long career.The hand-carved, smoothly finished ebony bridge, the unique red, blue, and yellow marquetry that beautifully adorns the body’s edges, and the intricate inlays extending from the headstock to the fingerboard all lend an artistic elegance to this traditional style.
In terms of sound, mahogany is characterized by a rich, warm midrange and a clear, woody tone. The combination of this premium mahogany, the deep body with sloping shoulders, and the moderate tension inherent to the short scale results in a response that is surprisingly rich and gentle to the player’s touch.
Thanks to the bracing voicing, meticulously hand-tuned to perfection, this guitar—despite being a New—already possesses the matured nuances of a vintage instrument, producing a rich, full-bodied sound with a solid core. This is a guitar worthy of being called the pinnacle of the standard, a feat achievable only by a master who knows the classic mahogany sound inside and out.
