Sonic SLP-S: A guitar that balances sharpness and thickness / Finished with precision unique to Japanese craftsmanship The Sonic SLP-S is a Les Paul Special type guitar that, while based on a simple construction, is assembled with the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Japanese workshops, resulting in a dense playing feel. Without relying on flashy ornamentation, the inherent beauty of its silhouette and the quick response of its sound stand out. From the moment you hold it, you'll feel a straightforward response without any unnecessary resistance. It's a finish that not only looks good but also possesses a practical feel that inspires confidence in daily playing. The appeal of this model lies in its clear mahogany-centric construction combined with P-90 style pickups, and its responsiveness enhanced by a thin lacquer finish and a wraparound bridge. The specifications, centered around a one-piece mahogany body and neck with a rosewood fingerboard, suggest a focus on bringing out the natural material qualities and excellent craftsmanship. The sound has a quick attack when amplified, with a tendency for the contours to come forward while maintaining a thick midrange. Single notes retain their core without becoming thin, and chords maintain good separation between strings, so even strong strumming doesn't muddy the expression. You can also feel Sonic's characteristic clarity, with the rear pickup delivering piercing highs and the front pickup offering a sweet yet clear sound without muddiness. While it has the grit and punch of P-90 style pickups, the sound image changes smoothly with the player's touch, making it a well-suited instrument for those who prioritize nuanced playing. This model is also likely to catch the eye of those drawn to the gear and sound of Motoo Fujiwara from BUMP OF CHICKEN. He is known for using a model with similar specifications for many years, and this guitar's understated appearance, solid response, and strong presence will particularly resonate with those who appreciate these qualities. There are some paint chips and minor signs of use, but the neck, truss rod, and electronics are all in good working order, and the playing condition is excellent. Please consider this opportunity.
