ASTURIUS / 2022 E.C. Emblem CW 60th Anniversary
For those unsatisfied with the uniform tone of mass-produced instruments—seeking a deep resonance that reflects their own life story and a beauty that stirs the soul just by holding it.
For those who cherish such a luxurious dilemma, a single, miraculous instrument has arrived from Kurume.
Created by Asturius Guitars to mark its 60th anniversary, the "E.C. Emblem CW 60th Anniversary" is a limited-edition model of the highest caliber, crafted by pouring every ounce of our technical expertise into its creation—a guitar born to quench that very thirst.
The moment you play a single note, you’ll experience an overwhelming sense of class that sets it apart from all other guitars.
Featuring the finest German spruce for the top and Indian rosewood for the sides and back, which produces deep, rich bass tones.
Thanks to the craftsman’s interpretation of the wood and bracing honed to the absolute limit, the moment your fingernail touches the string, thick, resonant overtones fill the space as if an orchestra were playing.
Astorias’s traditional OM shape delivers exceptional attack and perfect balance. Furthermore, the brand’s first-ever original Florentine cutaway ensures flawless playability, effortlessly handling complex chord work in the higher registers and modern fingerstyle techniques.
The neck learns the player’s touch the more it is played, eventually singing like a voice of its own. It will continue to inspire you with new musical ideas and promise a lifetime of rich experiences as your lifelong companion.
Boasting supreme beauty as a work of art, the contrast between the natural reddish padauk binding and the dazzling abalone trim adorning the details, along with the torch-head inlay shining on the headstock, fills all five senses with the joy of ownership even when simply leaning it against a stand and gazing at it.
This memorial model, which realizes the ideal playability sought by modern players, is the crystallization of the pride and determination of Japan’s master craftsmen, renowned throughout the world.
However, to maintain this level of quality, skilled craftsmen finished each instrument by hand, resulting in only six existing in the world.
This is a historic masterpiece, crafted for those who seek the very best—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It is already attracting keen interest from many collectors and discerning players, and if you miss this opportunity, you may never encounter it again. Please experience the miraculous sound produced by the tonewoods above with your own hands and ears.
