ORIGINAL SERIES | BOUTIQUE OFF-THE-RACK

The Original Series recapitulates what Maestro is all about – making boutique handmade instruments accessible off-the-rack. Handmade in small batches using select materials, these guitars are available in variety of shapes and wood combinations and are voiced by Hozen to bring out what would be the signature Maestro Guitars sound – responsive, rich in overtones, with defined basses and crystal-like thick trebles. Accompanying the Maestro sound is its iconic look – a coherent minimalistic design across the entire line, highlighting the intricacies of our signature SB & CSB options.

ABOUT MAESTRO GUITARS

Best known for making boutique-grade instruments more accessible to players, Maestro Guitars is the only Singapore brand that handcrafts guitars and ukuleles. Started in 2004 by Hozen, Maestro Guitars is a small workshop of highly-skilled luthiers that believe in bringing the best out from every single build; no shortcuts, no compromises.

All the instruments are handmade in a humidity-controlled facility in limited quantities using age-proven techniques. The tonewoods they use are kept and seasoned naturally to achieve the right moisture content and are hand-selected based on its responsiveness, stability, and aesthetic value. Bridging tradition and innovation, their instruments feature Carbon Fiber Reinforced necks and are PLEK Setup. Their instruments are first of its kind to have boutique features such as Soundport, Beveled Armrest, Double Top soundboards, and Double Sides available off-the-rack.

But what truly makes them and their instruments exceptional is their commitment in handvoicing. Learning from Ervin Somogyi, Hozen is able to carve his own approach to voicing in order to bring out our signature sound – responsive, rich in projection, and full of character. Often seen only in very select individual builders, they handvoice every single Maestro Guitars instrument to ensure that they are excellent both in tone and form – giving players a dose of inspiration even on the first strum.
