Inspired by the great guitars of the yesteryears, the Traditional Series
was born out of Hozen’s desire to build “period correct” instruments. Available
in 5 shapes and various iconic wood combinations, each piece is handvoiced to
possess rich fundamentals, clear projection, and graceful response down to the
very last note. From the compact Parlor to the iconic Slope Shoulder
Dreadnought, these guitars bring nostalgia and inspiration to today’s players.
INDIVIDUALLY
HANDVOICED
Though bracing patterns affect the tonal
characteristics of an acoustic guitar, there is no formulaic way of
guaranteeing the best tone. Every piece of wood is different that is why we
take time to individually voice every Traditional Series guitar to deliver an
instrument that has a very delicate response, rich in projection, and full of
character.
RESPONSIVE
WITH FOCUSED FUNDAMENTALS
Inspired by the iconic guitars of the past, the
Traditional Series is voiced to ensure that they are responsive and projects
rich tone with greater focus on the fundamentals – a once inimitable tonal
character of these instruments from the golden years, bringing inspiration and
nostalgia in every single strum.
HANDSELECTED
TONEWOODS
We source for the best tonewoods all over the world
and naturally season them for years to ensure that they are responsive and have
the ideal moisture content. Featuring iconic pairings of the past, the wood
that we use for the Traditional Series are handselected based on how fast the
sound travels across the board, richness of tap tones, deflection, and
woodgrain.
ICONIC
DESIGN, MODERN APPOINTMENTS
Bridging the old and the new, these guitars present a
vintage vibe with modern appointments. Available in both solid square headstock
and slotted headstock accompanied by fine details of Herringbone purfling and
Abalone inlays, they are furnished with Carbon Fiber Reinforced necks and
Reversed Kerfing – weaving tradition with innovation.
