The top-quality Malaysian guitars that opened Muse’s concert FMTNews FMTLifestyle
Kyoto Protocol frontman Fuad Albashi testing out the guitar named Unity at Bukit Jalil National Stadium last Saturday. In the background, and on the right, is Healing.
Its founder Tan Kuan Eng said he’d drawn inspiration from the concert-going experience in envisioning and creating these guitars.“The first one, Unity, symbolises people coming together for the concert,” he said when met with FMT Lifestyle several days before Kyoto Protocol’s performance. The guitars are made of top-quality components, including Malaysian ironwood critically handpicked by Tan himself.
It takes at least 100 hours of labour to construct one of these guitars. Each is made from straight-grain, old-growth Malaysian ironwood, which Tan personally and critically selects: only one in 100 pieces fits his criteria. The guitars also come with three high-end pickups – devices that convert string vibrations into electricity, embedded in the body of the instrument – all based on technology used by Nasa.Tan couldn’t wait to see his guitars in action, saying they were the best instruments he’d ever made.
