Hiroyasu Asakura radial bracing 2025- Japan
After two years of waiting, here is the new Hiroyasu Asakura 2025. Hiro is one of the few Japanese luthiers to design modern guitars inspired by Australian luthier Simon Marty. The radial bracing is radial (in a star shape around the bridge), and the back and sides’ solid structure gives power, clarity, voice separation, and an astonishing length of sound. The sound color is crystalline and magical. Easy to play with dreamy Japanese-style lutherie. Powerful, beautiful sound with dreamy, all-Japanese craftsmanship. This guitar is simply breathtaking.
Hiroyasu Asakura is 47 and based in Tokorozawa Japan close to Tokoy. He learned guitar making from Yoshikane Fukuoka starting in 2001. He is mainly influenced by modern guitar luthiers such as Greg Smallman & Sons, Simon Marty, and John Gilbert. He has been gaining recognition in recent years by winning the 1st prize in a guitar-making competition in 2014 organized by Gendai Guitar Co.
He is using a radial bracing similar to the one invented by Simon Marty and the back and sides are laminated. The materials are top quality and as one could expect the workmanship is flawless.
Hiro has developed his own vision of sound with a guitar which is among the loudest but with a traditional/modern sound crystal clear with a huge sustain.
