As a result this guitar offers loudness, balance and a beautiful sound.

An amazing traditional guitar with a big voice and a natural sounding beauty

We have been surprised by this classical guitar from Masaki Sakuria mostly by its loudness and its projection. The notes are full and creamy with the typical colour of spruce. The trebles are soft and rather warm. The bass is clear and precise which offers a nice voice separation. Playability is excellent: a great example of a modern vision of a traditional guitar.

The perfection of the Japanese luthery.

This Maestro-RF from Masaki Sakurai has a Central American Rosewood back and sides and a Spruce top. Very balanced, she sings in a voice with equal parts vigorous, rich, and articulate. The Maestro-RF features an elevated fingerboard, which allows for easy access to upper frets and modifies the break angle of the strings over the saddle, increasing the amount of vertical force being applied to the Spruce top, which increases the responsiveness of the plates and dramatically enhances the sustain. Moreover, this shifts where the sound hole is projecting outward, which translates to more of the guitar’s sonorous voice in the player’s ear.
