Satoru Yatsuzuka
After graduating from high school Satoru followed his passion of guitar making. He studied under the direction of Yasuo Momose, one of the best luthiers in Japan, acquiring all of the skills necessary for making quality instruments. By his mid twenties Satoru's natural talent and skill soon led him to managing the Headway factory and overseeing all the manufacturing processes. Satoru is now the factory manager of Aska Inc. and is also the factory's chief builder. In this position he builds custom-made instruments requested by professional musicians that require highly advanced woodworking skills. He is also in charge of building prototypes for high-end brands in and outside Japan. Satoru is the most talented builder at the factory and able to make any intricate designs into reality.
LS-MODEL
The STR LS model has a compact solid body with deep cutaways, which allows for easy unrestricted access to the upper frets. The neck is a three-piece construction providing great stability and has a volute that adds further strength to the neck-headstock area. The LS model provides the player with a linear response and well-balanced sound in any position. The combination of high quality materials and refined playability offers the bassist more flexibility in performance than ever before. This is what STR’s Lead Style is all about.
