Japanese Tools
Japanese tools have long been admired and desired for their quality and durability. Unfortunately, they can be hard to find outside of Japan and even then it can be hard to find ones suited for a luthier's use. We aim to change that. Yusuke is a third-generation Japanese luthier and his family and friends have a very long history of using high-quality Japanese tools to make instruments.
We're building relationships with manufacturers. Our plan is to get you the very best of Japan for building the guitars, basses, and ukuleles you're passionate about.
This page is currently under construction. Thank you for your patience.
