Fujigen NCLS-10R

We are used to the fact that Japanese goods are always made to last. This applies not only to electronics, but also to musical instruments. The Japanese learned how to make excellent guitars from the Americans, when they once entrusted them with making copies of the famous Gibson and Fender. Japanese analogues were not inferior to American ones either in sound or in quality. The Fujigen NCLS-10R is a Japanese reincarnation of the Gibson Les Paul.

Better than the original

According to some guitarists, "Gibson is not the same anymore." He is increasingly preferred by custom PRS or Fujigen. The Japanese version, which costs just over $1,000, is more musical and ergonomic than the original Les floors, which cost two to three times more.

Based on the materials, Fujigen is also not inferior. The neck and body of the neck are made from African mahogany, one of the finest mahogany varieties in the world. Thanks to it and the glued neck connection, the guitar has a soft velvety tone with excellent sustain throughout the entire range. At the same time, the maple top accentuates the upper frequencies and high mids.

A matter of technology

A feature of Fujigen guitars is the Circle Fretting System (CFS) radial fretting system. Thanks to it, accurate intonation and sonorous harmonics are ensured. Gotoh mechanics are of high quality, durable, and most importantly, provide smooth fine tuning and tuning stability. And Fujigen's signature humbucking pickups provide clear, intelligible sound, both in overdrive and clean sound.

Well, the Japanese wouldn’t be themselves if they didn’t take care of protecting the instrument by adding a branded case to the package.

Fujigen NCLS-10R is the case when the copy is better than the original. Feel free to buy and enjoy!
