EXRUBATO-STD-JT?\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClassic Semi-Hollow Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EXRUBATO follows the familiar double-cutaway semi-hollow formula, combining hollow body chambers with centre-block construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat gives it more acoustic resonance and openness than a typical solid-body while helping to keep the sound focused when amplification and overdrive are introduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeventySeven AL2 Humbuckers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two original \u003cstrong\u003eAL2 humbuckers use Alnico II magnets\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving them a relatively smooth and musical response rather than an aggressively high-output character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean sounds remain detailed and rounded, while adding drive produces a warm crunch with enough definition for blues, rock and melodic lead playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJapan Tune-Up Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eJT designation stands for Japan Tune-Up\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than leaving final playability entirely to the overseas production facility, SeventySeven carries out additional setup work in Japan, including fret-edge treatment and adjustments directly affecting how the guitar feels under the hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSlim C-Shaped Neck\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeventySeven specifies a relatively slim C-shaped neck profile designed to feel approachable without becoming excessively thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombined with the 24.75\" scale, it gives the EXRUBATO a comfortable feel for chords, blues phrasing and extended sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOvangkol Fingerboard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOvangkol provides a hard, smooth fingerboard surface with a familiar dark appearance, complementing the maple neck and traditional semi-hollow styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eComparison Against Popular Alternatives\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEXRUBATO-STD-JT vs Gibson ES-335\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gibson ES-335 is the historic benchmark for this style of semi-hollow guitar and sits substantially higher in the market. The EXRUBATO offers the same broad centre-block, twin-humbucker concept with its own SeventySeven pickups and Japan Tune-Up approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEXRUBATO-STD-JT vs Epiphone ES-335\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn Epiphone ES-335 is one of the most obvious alternatives. The SeventySeven distinguishes itself through its AL2 pickups, ovangkol fingerboard, Kluson hardware and additional Japanese fret and setup work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEXRUBATO-STD-JT vs Ibanez AS Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIbanez AS models often provide a slightly more contemporary interpretation of the semi-hollow format. The EXRUBATO leans heavily into traditional styling, straightforward controls and warm Alnico II pickup voicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEXRUBATO-STD-JT vs EXRUBATO-CTM-JT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CTM version takes the range further upmarket visually with more decorative appointments. The STD-JT keeps the design simpler and focuses on the core semi-hollow construction, pickup response and playability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlues Players\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of Alnico II humbuckers and semi-hollow construction works particularly well with clean, edge-of-breakup and moderate overdrive sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJazz Guitarists\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck pickup can deliver a warm, rounded voice while the centre-block construction makes the guitar more adaptable to stage volumes than a fully hollow jazz box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRock Guitarists\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch to the bridge pickup and add gain and the EXRUBATO becomes a capable rock instrument, with the centre block helping retain definition and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoul And R\u0026amp;B Players\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe responsive pickups and semi-hollow character suit clean chord voicings, melodic fills and dynamically controlled rhythm playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlayers Buying Their First Serious Semi-Hollow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EXRUBATO-STD-JT is particularly attractive to someone who wants the genuine character of a centre-block semi-hollow without immediately moving into premium American-made pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eSuitable Genres And Uses\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJazz rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eR\u0026amp;B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmericana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean rhythm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge-of-breakup playing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudio recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eWhat Does Japan Tune-Up Mean?\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eJapan Tune-Up Series\u003c\/strong\u003e was introduced by SeventySeven in 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core instrument is assembled at an overseas production facility, after which additional work is carried out in Japan using knowledge developed within the wider Deviser group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticular attention is given to areas that directly influence playability, including \u003cstrong\u003efret-edge finishing, neck adjustment, string action and final setup\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is therefore important not to confuse the JT designation with “Made in Japan”.
