Trying to show the guitars I use as a composer/songwriter/live and session musician for your amusement or whatever emotion this post ends up giving you.

This one I basically acquired because in 2018, I got to the point that I wanted to go to a lower register but I didn't want to further mess with my main "gigging" guitar further with alternate down-tunings, so when this guy started talking about how he needed to move and had to lose some guitars here and there to make it happen, I was like "hells yeah, I wanna see what's up!"

So that's how I ended up getting Yuka (in honor of a friend that lives in Tokyo) back in May 2018. The pickups are hard to "tame", the multi-scale took me like 3 weeks to get used to, and it has a ton of weird hang-ups about it, but y'know what? It's a really fun guitar to play.

Playing riffs on this one feels CHUNKY. So yeah, see you tomorrow, whoever reads this!
