Shohei Toyoda is a professional guitarist and a guitar instructor,
which makes having a high quality instrument extremely important. He
worked closely during the custom guitar design process with luthier
Jay Lichty to ensure the finished instrument would be the perfect fit
for his style of playing.
His custom Lichty guitar is a Cuban mahogany OM-style guitar with Lutz
spruce top, Mahogany neck, side sound port, Curly maple binding,
redwood burl rosette and headplate, LR Baggs Anthem pick-up, and Gotoh
510 tuners.
Shohei Toyoda was born in Japan, raised in Ohio and now resides back
in Japan. He is a graduate of Berklee College of Music. In 2010 he was
chosen as one of the top 16 guitarists to compete in Japan’s National
Finger Picking Contest and he followed this with a two month / 30 show
tour in Japan. In 2011 he landed two prestigious awards: Placement in
the top five at the 2011 International Finger-style Championship in
Kansas and Grand Champion at the International Thumb Picking Contest
in Central City, Kentucky. His most recent achievement is winning 1st
place and best arrangement in Japan’s 2012 National Finger-picking
Competition.
Shohei Toyoda joins the ranks of top guitarists who play and praise
Lichty Guitars. Other professionals who play custom Lichty guitars
include: brothers Tom and Mike Gossin of top country band Gloriana,
Australian blues/root artist Geoff Achison, Doug Lancio, Nashville
producer and lead guitarist for John Hiatt and Patty Griffin, Jody
Porter of Fountains of Wayne and Haley Dreis, singer/songwriter.
