Headway / HC-312

"Are you looking for a cutaway acoustic guitar that offers great playability in the higher frets, but find the sound a bit too light or lacking in depth?"
For players who enjoy technical solo guitar and chord work, ease of holding and high playability are non-negotiable.
That’s precisely why it’s surprisingly difficult to find a guitar that successfully balances both depth of tone and rich body resonance.
The Headway HC-312, a testament to the masterful craftsmanship of Hida Takayama, embodies that ideal. Thanks to its robust construction and meticulous dovetail joints—carrying on the philosophy of
Master Builder Yasuo Momose—it delivers a rich, clear tone despite its cutaway body.
This guitar is highly recommended for solo guitarists and live performers who refuse to compromise on either playability or sound.
We invite you to experience the exquisite craftsmanship unique to Japanese handmade instruments and a tone that deepens the more you play.
