The Black Smoker Futura SV SSH combines modern playability with a fuller, more traditional rock character.
Featuring a striking AAAA flamed maple top over a Fiji mahogany body, this 24-fret guitar is finished in Purple Burst, complemented by black hardware and an anodized pickguard.
Its asymmetrical maple neck, stainless steel frets and GOTOH Wilkinson VG300 tremolo offer a contemporary playing feel, while the Black Smoker pickups deliver a solid, full-bodied response that goes beyond the typically sleek appearance of a modern-style guitar.
This particular instrument was exhibited at Sound Messe 2026 in Osaka, Japan.

Black Crane Notes
The Futura SV may look every bit like a modern performance guitar, but its character is firmly rooted in rock.
The humbucker delivers a thick, substantial sound, while the SSH configuration offers flexibility for cleaner and more blues-oriented playing.
A particularly striking example, having been exhibited at Sound Messe Osaka 2026.
