Review

The private brand "stilblu" hand made by Blue Guitars, a guitar shop located in Toyama, Japan.

RETRO MODERN IRIS...
Somehow nostalgic, but new.
We aimed to create an electric guitar that can be used both casually and seriously!

A carefully selected lightweight body material is lacquered from the undercoat. The multi-layer finish color is used as a basic specification, and an aged process is applied. The original copper or brass pickguard, which is stilblu’s greatest feature, adds spice to the sound, and the coloring gives it a one-of-a-kind personality.
This guitar was developed for collaboration with Urushi artisan and Raden artisan who inherits the traditional techniques of Takaoka city. Urushi is applied to the copper pickguard, and the phoenix is ​​shaped using shellwork. The body and neck of the guitar are finished in Urushi motif finish color.
* The shell is finished with a clear paint, but it may come off if hit by a pick.

The 624mm medium scale eliminates the poor pitch and sustain that are often associated with short scales. The tension of the strings is softer than the long scale, and you can play for a long time with a small burden.
The unique looks and casual size will increase the times of playing a guitar and will be a friend that you will always be by your side.
