This is a very special guitar, commemorating the Woodstock Invitational Luthiers Showcase held in Woodstock NY. Adorning inlay that represents the event; the bearsville barn, poignant wildlife motifs. As well as the autumnal colors associated with the event. This SJ from the workshop of Keisuke Nishi sounds even more beautiful than it looks. We are big fans of Keystone here at the shop, and this instrument is the pinnacle of Keisuke’s craft. African Blackwood and German Spruce are the ingredients for this masterpiece. Everything that you know and love about African Blackwood guitars is present in this instrument; rich and thick sonority. Low mid growls that one can only find in an African Blackwood guitar. Contrasted with the lustrous German Spruce for the top, which creates pristine clarity and tonal accuracy. You’ll notice the gorgeous rosette’s three dimensionality. This is an ultimate guitar, representing the ultimate gathering of (guitar).

Power and Presence are two things that strike me about this guitar. Kei and I teamed up and decided to theme this guitar to celebrate the Woodstock Invitational Guitar Festival that's been my favorite show for years as 2023 may the very last. So on top of the world class Keystone voice, innovation and quality here we have a collectible piece of inlay art by Ogawa of Japan, a true master. 
Keisuke more than meets the mark with his latest SJ model for the 2023 Woodstock Invitational. This was hands down one of the most impressive guitars at the show--the extensive Ogawa inlays on the neck and fingerboard, the way the voice combines dark bass notes with glass-clear trebles, the gorgeous fit and finish. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
