McIlroy A25C 2020

McIlroy GuitarsのA25C、2020製です。

McIlroy Guitarsはアイルランドのローデンの元工場長であるダーモット・マクロイ氏が2000年に立ち上げたメーカーです。90年代、ローデンの経営が上手くいかなくなっている時期、自分のモデルを作りたいという夢を持って独立をしたそうです。世界で正規代理店は12店舗しかなく、日本では現在新品を取り扱っている店舗がないため、入手困難なギターです。

作りや音は当然ローデンと似ていて、ピアノのような澄んだ響きと長いサスティンがありますが、ローデンと比べると各弦の響きが調和され、強いピッキングでも音が暴れずに上手く纏まる印象です。また製作本数が少なく、材の選定や手仕事も丁寧に行われているように感じます。

このギターはAシリーズという定番モデルで、シダートップのウォールナットサイドバック、カッタウェイ付きです。

コンディションは新品同様の状態で、ネックの状態も良好です。弦高は、12フレット6弦で2.0mm、1弦で1.75mmです。サドルにも3mmほどの余裕があります。

ヒズコックス製のハードケースが付属します。

Made by McIlroy Guitars A25C, 2020.

McIlroy Guitars is a manufacturer launched in 2000 by Mr. Dermot McRoy, a former factory manager in Loden, Ireland. In the 90's, when Roden's management was not going well, he became independent with the dream of creating his own model. There are only 12 authorized dealers in the world, and there are no stores in Japan that currently handle new products, so it is a guitar that is difficult to obtain.

The construction and sound are naturally similar to the Loden, with a clear piano-like sound and long sustain, but compared to the Loden, the resonance of each string is harmonized, and even with strong picking, the sound is well-coordinated without going wild. In addition, the number of production is small, and I feel that the selection of materials and handwork are carefully done.

This guitar is a standard model called A series, with walnut side back of cedar top and cutaway.

The condition is as good as new, and the neck is in good condition. String height is 2.0mm for 6th string at 12th fret and 1.75mm for 1st string. The saddle also has a margin of about 3mm.

Comes with a Hiscox hard case
