Dear All Our FRIENDS
We are proud to announce that Freedom Custom Guitar Research has received the BEST IN SHOW Award at the 2018 NAMM show.
With more than 7,000 brands at The NAMM Show, it’s easy to miss out on your next best-seller. “Best in Show” kicked off the last morning of NAMM to highlight the can’t-miss products, services and technologies. In this NAMM Session, Frank Alkyer, publisher of Music Inc. and UpBeat Daily magazines, moderated a panel of six music retail experts, who shopped the far corners of the exhibit floor to bring you their favorites. This is gear that’s sure to make a splash in the new year and beyond. And our original ARIMIZO Joint Technology was praised by experts.
It was such a sweet surprise and delight to receive this award for our 20th anniversary. We couldn't have done anything without your help. Thank you so much for all your support. We will endeavor to enhance not only our product quality but also our service quality in order to meet your expectations.
Thank You Again.

When you pick up a FREEDOM CUSTOM GUITAR RESEARCH instrument and you realize the quality of the sound and playability, it will be an unforgettable experience.
All of the instruments (products) that we make are so highly durable. That’s the result of working without compromise. We have confidence in every step of our instrument-making process.
FREEDOM CUSTOM GUITAR RESEARCH instruments are consistently high quality. The reason for our consistency is the experience, sensibility, and taste of the craftsmen who make the instruments. By selectively using traditional techniques and state-of-the-art equipment we maintain that quality.
Above all, we believe that only skilled craftsmen can produce high-quality sound and playability.
Instruments that are made by craftsmen who spare no time or effort provide Freedom to the musicians who play them.
Without being aware of it, limitations disappear, and the player can concentrate on expression.
My hope is that you’ll love our instruments for as long as you play.

Find new wisdoms through old things. The “Freedom” quality in all elements.
“Change the Resonance in one action.”
ARIMIZO & One Point Joint is a new neck joint system that enables you to control the tone simply by turning the joint bolt and changing the ringing of the instrument itself.
The neck is joined to the body with only one bolt, while still maintaining enough joining strength of adhesive bonding for the instrument by applying the dovetail joining method that is used in the traditional Japanese wooden construction and the neck joining for acoustic guitars. This makes it possible to adjust the changes of the tone that is caused by the torque management, the tone modulation by the degree of the bolt fastening, in a short time with just one wrench. The direction of the sound changes by controlling the degree of the bolt fastening that changes the adhesion of the neck and the body is as follows.
* The extent of the change of the tone color may vary depending on the instrument, the strings, the setting and the environment.
