It's great that the Japanese have never lost their footing and also supply the upmarket entry-level segment with high-quality instruments.
The SEW761 is a version of the Saber, which was created more than 20 years ago and stirred up the guitar world at the time with ultra-slim bodies, excellent handling characteristics and powerful sounds. Well, the body of the 761 is not quite as thin as that of its predecessors, but still nestles comfortably. The flattened neck promises playing comfort and the DiMarzio pickups used prove that mahogany is not only punchy, but also comes with a good portion of warmth.
Thanks to Asian manufacturing, the guitar presents itself as an instrument that offers harmonious design, versatility and solid quality at a friendly price.
