Up for sale, a 2022 aNueNue model LS700E in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case, factory paperwork, and case candy. Hawaii-based aNueNue guitars and ukuleles are known for their eye-catching aesthetics and unique construction techniques: the LS700E is part of their flagship Acoustic Future Series, designed with Japanese master luthier Kenji Sugita, featuring proprietary bracing, an offset soundhole, beveled cutaway, and Japanese Yosegi-zaiku marquetry.
The tonewood complement includes a Swiss moon spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard, with a lower bout width of 15 1/8“ and a body depth of 4 3/8“. Tonally, this LS700E is crisp and punchy, with tight lows and a dynamic, immediate feel ideal for fingerstyle playing. There’s tons of natural projection on tap, and master luthier Kenji Sugita’s proprietary “Coherence Vibration” bracing was refined over three years of design for maximum resonance and openness. Additionally, the piezo undersaddle pickup has Volume and Tone wheels mounted to the inside edge of the soundhole for onstage flexibility. This aNueNue weighs 4lbs 5oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
