Headway HF-SAKURA’26 / STD
Inspired by the fleeting beauty of sakura.
The Headway Sakura Series celebrates the beauty of Japanese spring through craftsmanship and design.
The HF-SAKURA’26 / STD features delicate sakura-inspired artwork that reflects the fleeting elegance of cherry blossoms — a symbol deeply rooted in Japanese culture. Each instrument is crafted with care in Nagano, Japan, combining traditional guitar building with refined visual artistry.
A solid Sitka Spruce top provides clarity and projection, while the guitar’s balanced tonal character responds beautifully to both fingerstyle and strumming.
Black Crane Special Edition
This instrument has been upgraded with an LR Baggs Anthem SL pickup, specially requested by Black Crane.
Combining LR Baggs’ patented TRU•MIC internal microphone system with an undersaddle pickup, the Anthem SL delivers a remarkably natural amplified tone — faithfully capturing the voice of the guitar for live performance and recording.
Produced in limited numbers, the HF-SAKURA’26 is both a musical instrument and a seasonal expression of Japanese craftsmanship
