Acacia Guitars artist Nobuyuki Tabata is now officially part of the brand

Acacia Guitars artist Nobuyuki Tabata is now officially part of the brand.

I’m honored to announce that I have become an official artist for Acacia Guitars, a high-quality handcrafted instrument brand based in California, USA.

As an artist, I focus on achieving a balance between articulation, punch, and consistency—both on stage and in the studio. These elements are essential in modern heavy music, where clarity and tightness directly impact the overall sound.

In heavy music, the instrument itself plays a crucial role in shaping tone and performance. That’s why I use the Acacia Guitars Atlas 5 Multi-scale bass. This instrument allows me to achieve a powerful low-end while maintaining clarity across all strings.

For this reason, Acacia Guitars artist Nobuyuki Tabata relies on the Atlas 5 Multi-scale bass for modern metal performance.

The multi-scale design provides improved string tension, which is especially important for low tunings used in modern metal and djent. As a result, I can maintain tight and aggressive tones without sacrificing articulation.

Another key aspect is consistency. Whether recording in the studio or performing live, I need a bass that responds accurately to my playing style. The Atlas 5 delivers that reliability, allowing me to focus fully on performance.

Moving forward, I will continue to share real-world usage, tone approaches, and performance-based content. This includes playthrough videos, gear breakdowns, and sound design insights.

In addition, my playing style combines fingerstyle, pick, and slap techniques, which require a versatile and responsive instrument. The Acacia Guitars Atlas 5 Multi-scale bass allows me to switch seamlessly between these approaches while maintaining clarity and power.

This flexibility is especially important for modern metal, where dynamics and precision are constantly changing. With this setup, I can push my sound further and explore new creative directions.

As Acacia Guitars artist Nobuyuki Tabata, this partnership represents an important step in sharing my sound with a wider global audience.

Thank you for your continued support.
