Purchased used on Rakuma in August 2020 for 210,000 yen. This is The Waltz, a model that rarely appears among Headway guitars. It's not just a regular Waltz, but a custom model. As a custom model, the fingerboard and bridge are ebony (usually rosewood). The previous owner seemed to have taken good care of it, and it was already in quite beautiful condition when I bought it. I haven't played it much since I bought it either, so the condition is almost unchanged. The basic specs are: Sitka spruce top, Honduras mahogany sides and back, 1-piece African mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard and bridge. The overall condition has no noticeable dents or scratches. The only imperfections are minor scuffs and light dents that are not very noticeable. However, there is some bulging on the top, and when a straightedge is placed along the bridge, there is a 3mm gap on the right and a 3mm gap on the left. The neck is almost straight with no back bow. The frets are 80-90% remaining, and the saddle still has plenty of height to lower the string action. The current string height is approximately 2.1mm at the 12th fret of the 6th string and approximately 2.0mm at the 12th fret of the 1st string (current gauge 011-052). For reference, I've included the description from when I purchased it below: Product Description This instrument is a "The Waltz" with a small body size, similar to the Gibson LG-2. Furthermore, this individual guitar is a customized version of "The Waltz." [Appearance] Changes from the standard "The Waltz" include: 1. Ebony fingerboard 2. Ebony bridge 3. Shell logo and flower inlay on the headstock These features, combined with the beautiful finish, give it a very elegant appearance. The firestripe pickguard and the less reddish sunburst finish are reminiscent of 1940s Gibsons, making it incredibly cool. [Condition] The frets have 80-90% remaining on the 1st and 2nd strings, which are the most worn. The saddle has 3.5mm remaining on the 1st string and just under 4mm on the 6th string, providing ample room to lower the string action. The neck is stable with no back bow or warping. The excellent point of this instrument is its small body size. It fits the Japanese physique well and doesn't cause fatigue even after holding it for a long time. It has the look of an old Gibson and the quality craftsmanship of Headway. It's great to play and display. It's an instrument that you can use for a long time. Made in 2013, it also has Mr. Momose's signature on the back of the top. A valuable one-of-a-kind item. I hope to pass it on to someone who feels a connection to it.
