AIRCRAFT is a handmade electric guitar brand founded in Japan in the late 1980s.
They are particularly highly regarded among studio musicians and professional guitarists, and are known to have been favorites of players such as Michiya Haruhata of TUBE and Takashi Masuzaki of DIMENSION.
This model is their flagship model, the AC-5.
The AC-5 is often characterized by a slightly smaller Dinky shape, an SSH or HSH pickup layout, and a locking tremolo unit, but this model features a Dinky shape with three single-coil pickups and a Wilkinson tremolo unit.
Many people would likely find this style more suitable in modern times.
The body wood is solid, so it was difficult to determine.
The body is painted in a black glitter color, giving it a flashy yet cool look.
The neck is made of one-piece maple.
The guitar features a beautiful birdseye grain pattern rarely seen these days, making it clear at a glance that it is made of high-quality wood.
It is equipped with three single-coil pickups.
It produces a brilliant, crisp sound.
This guitar also features a boost circuit.
This allows for a wide range of output, from fat to bright.
The tuning machines are Sperzel, and the bridge is a Wilkinson two-point tremolo.
This improves tuning stability and allows for smoother arm movements.
A rare model that is rarely seen.
Why not take advantage of this opportunity?
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The neck is in good condition with some twisting. The string height can be adjusted from 2.3mm on the 6th string to 1.8mm on the 1st string, allowing for easy playability.
The body and finish show signs of wear, such as scratches and dents.
There is rust and tarnish on the metal parts, burns and scratches on the pickguard, darkening on the neck, dents on the headstock, darkening on the nut, and a chip on the end of the fingerboard. The back panel is missing, and there is a signature on the back of the headstock (details unknown).
There is slight poor contact in the battery box.
