{"product_id":"hideo-sato-2026-special","title":"Hideo Sato - 2026 Special","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eHideo Sato grew up closely connected to the workshop of his father, the internationally renowned luthier Kazuo Sato. Kazuo trained with Kuniharu Nobe in Japan before joining David Rubio’s workshop in England, where he worked alongside Paul Fischer, and later established his own workshop in Germany in 1974. Hideo initially pursued a career in the Japanese software industry, but in 2011 decided to dedicate himself entirely to guitar making. After several years of apprenticeship, he began building classical concert guitars together with his father. Kazuo’s extensive experience provides a foundation from which Hideo develops his own construction ideas and increasingly individual musical perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis traditionally constructed guitar from 2026 represents the highest model in Hideo Sato’s work and is made with the finest woods selected from the Sato workshop’s stock, including a spruce soundboard and striking Madagascar rosewood back and sides. Its voice is rooted in the traditional concert-guitar ideal, with an elegant tonal character, precise articulation, and unusually clear separation between individual lines. Chords remain transparent and ordered, making it easy to follow inner voices and shape complex polyphonic passages without the sound becoming rigid or analytical.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe instrument responds with a supple, elastic quality that readily follows changes of colour, dynamic weight, and articulation. The trebles sing with focus and refinement, while the basses provide a defined and stable foundation. This clarity gives the player considerable freedom to organise musical textures and vary the character of a phrase, from delicately shaded lines to more firmly projected gestures. Equally notable is the playing comfort: the carefully shaped neck and precise setup support relaxed control and allow the guitar’s responsive, colourful voice to be explored with immediacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54314552656205,"sku":"S18986","price":12990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/hideo-sato-2026-special-16.jpg?v=1784231471","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/hideo-sato-2026-special","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
