There are people who take a unique approach by focusing on the tree rather than the pear fruit. A company in the city of Rifu has created something using pear trees to promote local products around the world… It’s an “electric guitar” made from pear trees in the city of Rifu. The reddish brown color and straight grain of the wood give it a beautiful and luxurious look. This is probably the world’s first electric guitar made from pear wood. This guitar was made by the Mae Kogei construction company in Rifu. I usually work on the interior and exterior of stores. So why is an electric guitar made of pear wood? Hajime Kumagai, President of Mae Kogei: “One luthier knew someone at a music studio and told me he wanted to make an original guitar, so I thought it would be a good idea to make a guitar out of pear wood.” It all started when he began looking for a way to effectively use dried pear wood. It took 10 months of trial and error. What’s your favorite sound from a finished guitar? Nobuhiro Sasaki, president of Studio Solfa, who asked us to make the guitar, said: “It has a core, but the bass and midrange sound good, which surprised me too.” “My dreams are big and I hope that one day it will fall into the hands of all the musicians in the world and create a wide variety of music.” It would be ideal if we could play it like this. “From Rifu to the world.” Hajime Kumagai, President of Mae Kogei: “It would be great if we could tell the world that things like this can be done using pear trees, which are Rifu’s specialty.” I also asked pear farmers to do this. take a look. Abe Seirien Mr. Kiyotaka Abe (question: What was your first impression?) “I didn’t think it was a pear tree at all. I think some people will learn about pears through this, so I’d like to buy one of these. this is mass production.”By the way, the price ranges from 800,000 to 1 million yen.
