Description

The long-awaited Hermes Series is now in stock! Yoshiyuki Kikuchi served as the chief luthier of the Sadowsky Tokyo chapter and recently launched Three Dots Guitars.
Combining various ideas such as know-how gained through many years of instrument production and involvement with numerous musicians, Mr. Kikuchi himself has created a new brand called “Kikuchi Guitars”.

“Hermes” is a series that will be made available to more players.
While maintaining its reliable capabilities, we have realized an affordable price by limiting specifications and colors.

Features
Neck: The neck has been strengthened and the head has been thickened to create the optimal sound of the instrument and the weight balance when playing.
With a thinner nut width than the general J style, and a neck grip that is moderately thick for durability and playability, and is easy to grip, you can play smoothly from low to high positions and mute 5-strings with a wide neck width.

The string heights are set up uniformly at all fret positions to accommodate a variety of playing styles and musical genres, so you can play a powerful tone for strong picking and a warm, enveloping tone for gentle fingering.

Body: Uses a dinky shape that has been redesigned so that even Japan people can play without stress. Not only does it have a good handling that plays modern tones, but the solid body with just the right amount of weight plays a tone with good pronunciation and creates a variety of tone variations.

This RV model uses ash wood. It features the warm, enveloping tone of the Rosewood fingerboard, plus a soothing bass.

Pickup: Equipped with a custom model made by DiMarzio, which is also used in the Custom Series. It is a sharp, crisp, powerful, and noise-reducing hum cancellation pickup.

Preamp: In order to achieve the best tone that Kikuchi idealizes, we have equipped with the original preamp that is also used in the Custom Series, which was developed in collaboration with the world’s best design manufacturers.
When boosting, the bass and treble are designed to scoop up a clear, natural tone and midrange at any setting, and to reduce the difference in audible volume and sound quality as much as possible when switching between passive and active.
