HIGHLIGHTS
RJ CURATED NECK
Quartersawn Maple
Quartersawn maple is more stable and resistant to warping than flat-sawn (regular cut) maple because its grain runs more vertically, reducing moisture-related expansion and contraction.
RJ Designed Compound Neck Profile
SOFT V-C (.826" - .905")
Custom designed compound neck profile combining vintage soft "V" from the first fret for better thumb placement in low register notes and soft "C" shape for more flawless thumb gliding towards the heel.
Compound Fretboard Radius
9" - 12"
9" fretboard radius from the first fret for better chord playing at low register and 12" radius on the 22nd fret for easier slides and bends at high register notes.
Improved ergonomic feel and smoother sweeps through the fretboard.
Semi-Rolled Edges
Custom-built medium jumbo stainless steel frets for added fret durability and smoother feel.

Filipino Soul
Meets Japanese Precision.
RJ Custom Shop guitars are handcrafted in the Philippines by luthiers trained under Japan’s Deviser / Asuka Factory — makers of STR, Momose, and Bacchus. When Deviser / Aska scouted Asia for expansion, it was Filipino craftsmanship that stood out, saying our guitars had “tamashi” or soul.
Built on over 80 years of combined experience from RJ Guitars and Deviser / Aska, these guitars fully harness the talent, ingenuity, and craftsmanship of Filipinos with Japanese discipline, know-how, and technology.
