The Maestro brand was founded by luthier Ho Zen Yong – known simply
as “Hozen” – with the vision of offering high quality boutique acoustic
instruments for the best possible value. Since then, Maestro Guitars has
evolved into one of the leading makers of premium guitars and ukuleles in the
world. Hozen’s lifelong commitment to making fine, hand-crafted instruments
more accessible began at a young age. His family were the first piano builders
in Singapore. Hungry to bring Maestro guitars to the next level, Hozen studied
under renowned luthier Ervin Somogyi and underwent PLEK training with the
legendary Joe Glaser, who was also instrumental in developing the team’s eye
for detail.
Every Maestro exudes a commitment to making fine boutique
instruments more accessible. Handmade by a small team of experienced luthiers,
all Maestro instruments are built from hand-selected tone woods and individually
voiced by Hozen, ensuring that each is exceptional in terms of tone and
craftsmanship.
This Guitar is a Maestro Traditional Series Orchestra Model guitar
with a Solid Torrefied Sitka Spruce top, solid Indian Rosewood back and sides,
Adirondack Spruce bracing, a Sunburst finish and a slotted headstock.
Inspired by the instruments from the 1930s, the Traditional Series
is a modern spin on the highly sought “Golden Era” steel string guitars.
Available in 5 shapes in the timeless pairing of Adirondack Spruce top and
Indian Rosewood back & sides, these guitars represent an exciting era of
innovation and inspiration. From the compact Parlor to the iconic Slope
Shoulder Dreadnought, these instruments bring nostalgia and inspiration to
today’s players.
