Wooden Pen - Lacquer Finish - Musical Instrument (Guitar) - Red - Benibana (Safflower)

This pen features a wooden shaft crafted from exquisite, figured Japanese horse chestnut.

Dyed with premium safflower dye, it achieves a beautiful, vibrant color with a translucent quality, offering a unique hue not found elsewhere. The lacquer finish provides a lustrous, wet-look sheen that cannot be achieved with oil or wax finishes.

Important Notes:
■ This pen is finished with the same type of lacquer used on musical instruments. Therefore, it requires similar care as a lacquer-finished guitar, which we will outline below as many may not be familiar with this.

・Dents
Lacquer is prone to scratching and denting if dropped or impacted by hard objects. The area where the clip touches the pen is especially susceptible to dents. Please be aware of this characteristic.

・Chemical Reactions
Lacquer can react with rubber products, thinners, and other chemicals, potentially leaving marks on the surface. Storing the pen in a pencil case with other writing instruments may cause a reaction with rubber components.

・Cracks
Sudden temperature changes can cause cracks in the lacquer finish. Furthermore, cracks may naturally appear over time, even after a decade of use. We hope you will appreciate these cracks as part of the character of the lacquer finish. Vintage guitars often exhibit similar cracking, and new guitars are even made to replicate this look.

・Care
We recommend polishing the pen with a silicone-free instrument cloth and a lacquer-compatible polish.
