HC-313 STD 40th Anniversary

Headway / HC-313 STD 40th Anniversary

We guitarists often become preoccupied with how our sound will reach the audience.
Music should first and foremost satisfy your own ears and heart.
The "raw resonance" reaching your ears is the very essence of the joy of playing.
Yet, traditional acoustic guitars have never fully returned that sound to the player.

Since its founding in 1977, Headway has adhered to the philosophy of "crafting guitars you can play for a lifetime," learning traditional European and American methods while making unique improvements.
The experience cultivated over 40 long years was no mere formality.
"How can we enhance the guitarist's playing experience itself?"
Facing this question led to the creation of the HC313.

This guitar features a small opening—a monitoring hole—on the upper side of the body, separate from the standard soundhole.
What flows out from it is the direct breath of the raw sound produced by the entire body.
The nuances of your picking, the airy feel when your fingertips touch the strings, the depth of the bass, and the spread of harmonics—all return directly to your ears.

The midrange is rich and warm, gentle like the sun streaming through on a winter morning.
The light yet focused resonance naturally adapts to both fingerstyle and chord strumming.
The slightly wider 44.5mm nut width offers fingerstyle players an exquisite balance of fretting freedom and stability.

The built-in Fishman INK4 pickup system delivers reliable performance for live gigs and studio recording.
The side-mounted control panel allows instant sound shaping, enabling you to adjust tones to suit the venue or song style right at your fingertips.

The reassurance of having all the fine-tuning you once relied on separate gear now handled by the guitar itself frees your playing.

A lustrous black finish, a bird inlay at the 12th fret, and the engraved "40th Anniversary" inscription on the headstock back.

Every element exudes a sense of specialness and meticulous attention to detail, crafted to be cherished for years to come.
As a guitar destined to accompany you throughout your musical journey, there's no reason to miss this opportunity.

Don't just play it—experience the joy of hearing your own sound with your own ears.
