Sugi Guitars

Mahiya of Wagaki plays a Sugi, right?

Just skipping around but I believe those are all Sago.

I keep trying to like Sugi but it doesn't happen. Rare that I lust after some picture of a guitar enough to go out to a shop and try it out, and then not bring it home, but with Sugi it's happened at least 3 times. I know Nick obviously loads them up with other pickups for customers a lot of the time... I wish I could try one out with better pickups through a better amp than the typical JP shop. Seems like a quality build but they've all seemed a bit lacking.

Love my Sugi-built universe though!

I dont think Ive ever played a guitar at a Japanese shop through an amp. Just not worth it. I think Sugi's stock pickups sound great personally, but pickups are irrelevant to me as I almost always replace them anyways.

Oh sheesh... Sorry sorry. Erase erase.

I should start bringing a laptop, headphones, and interface. It's hard to judge through a Jazz Chorus.

Personally I think you can tell without plugging in if a guitar will sound good. If it's somewhat resonant and is enjoyable to play, it can be made to sound awesome with the right pickups.
