Developed in collaboration with one of the masters of today's jazz fusion, the new Pacifica Signature Mike Stern guitar has a new look. This Signature model from the Pacifica range combines traditional manufacturing with modern features and now benefits from IRA treatment (Initial Response Acceleration) to eliminate tensions between different parts (finish, wood, body, handle, keys, nut, bridge , etc.). The new PA1611MS features a one-piece maple neck and a lacquered finish for comfort. This beautiful guitar handcrafted in Japan is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity personally signed by Mike Stern attesting the quality and implementation of its recommendations.
IRA (Initial Response Acceleration):
If you have ever used the instrument of another guitarist without being able to produce the same sound, it is probably because you have a style of play different from that usually played on this guitar. After several years of use, the guitar adapts to the playing style of the guitarist. It takes time for a new guitar to adapt to your playing style. The tensions between some parts (finish, wood, body, handle, keys, nut, bridge, etc.) must disappear so that these parts can all resonate together as an instrument. This requires a lot of time and practice. The IRA technology eliminates tensions, such as those between the finish and the wood, by subjecting the finished guitars to certain vibrations. Once this treatment is finished, the guitar responds precisely to the guitarist's game and produces more easily sound. This technology also reduces the time needed for the guitar to suit your playing style. Finally, you benefit from a better support.
