Ren Ferguson / Flame Maple 985 (Advance Guitars Signature Model)
[Staff Comment: Inoue]
This guitar stands out for its dazzlingly beautiful, premium flame maple used on the body sides and back. The intricate, three-dimensional tiger-stripe grain, which changes its appearance depending on the angle of the light, is truly a work of art created by nature.
This model features the "985" body shape—Ren Ferguson's own original design, which is a unique evolution of the J-185 style.The beautifully curved, hand-carved ebony bridge, the unique marquetry adorning the body’s edges, and the inlay shining on the headstock add exquisite accents to the maple’s white, translucent grain.
In terms of sound, maple is generally characterized by a "hard, well-defined, and clear tone." However, the combination of the exquisitely curved "985" shape and Ren's exceptional voicing techniques brings out not just hardness, but the rich warmth inherent to acoustic guitars.
The sound is fresh and bright, with each note clearly defined yet never harsh on the ears. Its clear resonance cuts through an ensemble without getting lost, faithfully conveying every subtle touch and nuance of the player—a finish that truly embodies “functional art.”
