ASTURIAS / 2008 Solo Standard C
ASTURIAS GUITARS, with its workshop in Fukuoka Prefecture, crafts high-quality guitars from premium wood using a team of approximately 15 exceptional artisans. These guitars are beloved by many artists for their delicate tone, comfortable playability, and beautiful body shapes.
This model is part of the Solo series—ASTURIAS’s entry-level line that offers the brand’s signature quality at an affordable price. While many entry-level models compromise by using lower-grade wood or simplifying the assembly process, ASTURIAS maintains its high quality by using the same premium wood but minimizing decorative elements, resulting in a guitar that appeals to a wide audience.
The top features a solid cedar top, known for its excellent responsiveness and warm tone, while the sides and back utilize a three-ply construction of rosewood, mahogany, and rosewood. The soft, full-bodied sound and clear resonance unique to cedar gently envelop the player.
While the ornamentation is understated, the rosette and binding are meticulously crafted from wood, giving the guitar a simple, understated yet high-quality appearance.
The neck offers a comfortable grip—neither too thick nor too thin—making it a pleasure to play, whether for soloing, fingerpicking, or strumming.
While there are certainly wonderful guitars from overseas brands, there are also hidden gems among Japanese-made instruments. We invite you to experience this one for yourself.
