Hozen Swiss Spruce & Solid Ziricote #21031028RAZCCSB4SQZ

Hozen Guitars are here! Hozen is a Singaporean guitar builder who understudied with Ervin Somogyi for voicing. He founded Maestro Guitars in 2004 and has been building Maestro guitars until today. This pandemic season made him realize that time is limited, and the future is indeed uncertain. He now sees guitarmaking from a new perspective. He wants to spend his days building guitars as if they are his own to keep, with limits bounded only by his imagination. He started conceptualizing every fine detail that he would like to see in his own instruments. Many of the designs are inspired by amazing builders he knows personally but done up with a twist – a personal touch. It’s never his intention to reinvent the acoustic guitar but only to make the original better. Hozen guitars are born from his desire to give his all as though there is no tomorrow.

Hozen Guitars differ from the Maestro line as every single piece is unique in design and specifications. It would be unlikely he will make the same thing again unless it’s commissioned. Every instrument is done in the highest workmanship under Maestro Guitar’s build-to-order program whereby he is personally involved in the design, voicing, and crafting of the instrument.

This guitar is from the Hozen Guitars Blue Series. It is a Small Jumbo with Back Bevel featuring a solid Swiss Spruce top, and solid Ziricote Back & Sides.
