Ovation isn't the only guitar KAZUKIN loves.
This Morris electro-acoustic is also a big favorite.
What do I like about it?
It's just easy to play.
Low string action solves everything
It's a personal impression, but I feel many electro-acoustic models are built with lower string action overall.
The Ovation is like that too—its playing feel leans closer to an electric guitar.
Thanks to that, I need less force to press chords, and my fingers don't tire even after long sessions.
On an ordinary acoustic guitar, many models have higher action, and you sometimes get
“I want to play one more song, but my fingers are at their limit...”
With an electro-acoustic, on the other hand,
“One more song.”
“Just one more.”
and I keep playing.
...And before I know it, an hour has passed.
Whether I was practicing guitar or escaping reality, even I can't tell.
For playability-minded KAZUKIN, an electro-acoustic is perfect
Of course, high-action acoustics have their own powerful sound and appeal.
So it's not a question of “which is better.”
It's just that for playability-minded KAZUKIN, an electro-acoustic is a perfect fit.
If you're a beginner with the image that “guitar must hurt your fingers...”, I'd like you to try an electro-acoustic once.
“Huh? Maybe I can play this much better than I thought.”
Surprisingly many people may feel that way.
モーリスいいよね
Summary
And today again, KAZUKIN picks up the guitar thinking,
“I'll practice for just five minutes.”
...
Before I know it, thirty minutes have passed.
Checking stock prices ends in five minutes, but guitar never ends.
