Very important information about "ES'

[jselect]

I asked Tokai Musical Instruments about the fact that ES type guitars are out of production in the catalog.
My questions and Tokai Musical Instruments' answers are as follows.
It seems that the completion of production is for the release of a new model, but I am curious how it will be "new".
First of all, I was relieved that the ES series was not completely finished.

Q:
The other day, I looked at your company's website and confirmed the latest lineup.

This ES series was marked as "out of production" and a thick white wire was placed over the guitar. It is very unfortunate.

We recognized ES as an important series to show the world about your crafting skills.

Is this completion of production due to the decrease in the number of craftsmen working on the ES series?

Or is it other circumstances such as too high production costs?


A:
Thank you for your inquiry.

Please consider the completion of production of the ES series as basically the completion of production for conversion to a new model.

Regarding the semi-follow model, there are certainly aspects that are putting pressure on the cost and total number of units produced due to the production content,
Nevertheless, please be assured that we would like to respond to your wishes as much as possible.

Here is what the seller is saying is a 2024 ES248.

It is impossible to read the serial number.

He may be mistaken of course,. He could have bought it in 2024 as a new guitar.
