I want you to know the mystery and depth of musical instruments through the wonderfulness of Toramoku. Here is the secret of uncompromising great sound.
-Tramoku Standard Les Paul Electric Guitar King Stradivarius,
a solid quitar as a masterpiece, is a Tramoku standard model that has become a coveted target not only for professional musicians but also for vintage guitar enthusiasts. The arched top made of curly maple with vivid cross grains of the tiger stripe boasts a high-grade sound peculiar to the standard by drawing out excellent acoustic characteristics as well as boasting an artistic and perfected beauty. This curly maple, which is rare in the world, was originally used as a very valuable material among violin makers in the Cremona region, and has produced many inscriptions. In the sold body, it was used for the Les Paul standard manufactured around '58-'60, and the popularity that can be said to be overheated for the past few years as the highest peak or the old model is only increasing the acceleration. Here, we will explore how the standard model by Curly Maple Top, which can be said to be the ultimate of this Vintage guitar, is produced, and the charm of Curly Maple, which is the source or the standard model, and the process or making the guitar created by Tokai's technology. About how to call Toramoku and Moku (left) ... There are many different ways to call this maple material. which is generically called toramoku (raw). Including general curly maple, tiger maple. figured maple, fiddleback maple, flame maple. etc. And this toramoku is by no means a grain of wood. Moku is a twist or wrinkle of a tree as it is written in a book, that is, the growth process of a tree creates this moku. Thick Mokuze fine Moku and Tamamoku Segira Gira Moku indicate the growing environment. How Is Toramoku born? So, I mentioned a little about how this Toramoku-curly maple is born. but its growing environment has a great influence. Most of the tramoku are found in cold regions around the world and in extremely bad conditions, such as valleys with strong winds and signs of poor weather conditions. In the process of abnormal development (heather) is already created. Also, since they are all born under different conditions one by one, they are born from gingin toramoku, thin cross-grained ones, those that do not have much moku but have a solid organization, and lightly and rarely born like tamamoku (bird's eye). There are various things such as tech. Not all of them have great toramoku, and if you understand the area well and look at the guitar, you will get a different taste. It is said to be the pinnacle of ingredients such as taste. However, the reason why it is so good is that the factor of ITA-Romoro is unfortunately still unclear theoretically. And that's the mystery of wood, so musical instruments are interesting. This is just a result theory, and when comparing a normal maple top and a curly maple top under the same conditions, the Tramoku maple sounds better. So, the reason why all the professional artists in the world are pursuing the standard model '58- '60 is a nod. What's more, if it's visually valuable great, old guitar enthusiasts can't help but become more and more popular. Tokai Perfect Replica LS Series: That doesn't mean the sound of a regular maple top is bad. If you use the same material as the original, solid maple and solid mahogany back like the Tokai 58 standard model. and incorporate the best technology and replica it, you can create a super sound that is as good as Tramoku, and you can also clearly express your personality. I think it's more important to choose a guitar that can be claimed. Even if you look at the top artist Tramoku Standard, each one is different. and there is a wide variety or things from Van Halen's Mechatra to Steve Lukather's favorite instrument. Kai is severely collected from al over the world. Using the rare curly maple, I keep keeping super spec guitars in the hands of professional artists in the word and you. Tokai LS series Vintage model 58 I want you to experience the fantastic great sound of the standard model as well.
Toramoku pattern material other than maple ?:
If you just want to find a material that has a striped pattern or a toramoku pattern, there are many, and on the contrary, there are many toramoku patterns that nave a ginging glare than this maple. For example, the most amazing thing in this itself is horse chestnut wood (on the photo). At first glance, there are few people who can distinguish this from this maple even though it has a large Tatari tramoku. In addition, there are many various materials in the world such as Sycamore and Anegre, and if they are manufactured without considering the acoustic characteristics, they must be a mountain of Tramoku Standard and Tramoku Guitar all over Japan, no. all over the world. The reason why Tokai keeps sticking to this maple is because he wants lo reproduce the old standard great sound with the same specifications as the original material. Even if there is a tramoku, the sound is muted when a soft material is pasted on the top, which is completely different from the maple book and on the contrary, it may be killing the wonderful sound created by the body construction with the maple top and mahogany back. Tokai uses curly maple for the Vintage model to reproduce the true Tramoku standard, and selected maple for the 58 standard model and continues to make thorough guitars without compromise based on sound. It goes without saying that the mahogany 1-piece top and mahogany peace back are also a major factor in creating a great sound by becoming a powerful player under En. Tokai is the only standard model in the world that has been perfectly and faithfully reprinted so far.
