Unicut Shoto Doubleblade Tenno-Line "Kintsugi" (2024)

Under the name “UniCut Guitars” Florian Lüttke produces guitars and basses by hand in Allershausen, Bavaria. He only uses tonewoods and hardware of the very highest quality, so that his self-designed guitars not only set their own standards in terms of their look, but also impress across the board with their great playing characteristics and fantastic sound. This is also the case with this “Shoto”, which we are delighted to offer you today. The name “Shoto” can be translated as “little sword” and should not be seen as a marketing gimmick by Florian Lüttke. The well-traveled guitar builder uses this term to express his great love for Japan and the special inspiration that he associates with the shape and elegance of Japanese swords. He transferred this extraordinary design element to the shape of the guitar by modeling the circumferential facet of the body after a “shoto”, defining the shape and at the same time creating an astonishing spatial depth. This is further enhanced by the deep black lacquered and beautifully figured maple top being framed in silver. The beautifully grained ebony fingerboard and the artificially aged hardware are a perfect match, which results in a spectacular overall look, especially in the form of the rocked pickup covers and the added Bigsby. ...and when you look at the aging with countless pronounced hairline cracks in the varnish, you can understand the nickname "Kintsugi" (scar face) that Florian gave this guitar. The playability of the guitar is first-class thanks to perfectly dressed frets, a slightly stronger medium neck profile, the smooth-running and detuning-free Bigsby tremolo and an ideal weight of just 3680 grams. In terms of sound Lüttke relies on Alnico-II Creambuckers, which can be used to achieve any sound direction. These pickups impress with their clean clarity, allow the juiciest Rock sounds and are known to be perfect for singing Blues leads. It doesn't get any better than this! We would like to congratulate the future owner of this unique and exclusive guitar, who will receive it in mint condition including VAT and with all kinds of case candies.
