Leaf Instruments Tsubaki Nylon No.190

Leaf Instruments Tsubaki Nylon No.190

Leaf Instruments is a brand founded in 2010 by Yukihiko Nagasaka, a guitar luthier who works as a Suzuki violin craftsman while making stringed instruments such as guitars and ukuleles, and is highly rated by professional guitarists for his unique body lines and sounds.

This time, a nylon string model of "Tsubaki" with an original shape that is located between OM size and dreadnought has arrived.Manufactured in May 2023.

This is a customized version of the "Tsubaki" model, which was originally an acoustic guitar, with nylon string specifications.The body shape is the same as the "Tsubaki", but the head, bridge, and internal structure are designed specifically for this model.

The bracing structure is original fan bracing.The structure has been redesigned many times in order to deliver the rich bass sound emitted from the large body tight and far.This is a model for those who have been playing acoustic guitars as a replacement, or for jazz guitars.

This model has a 12th fret joint and a nut width of 49mm as standard specifications.
The body thickness is 94-100mm, which is thinner than the Tsubaki.
