Maestro Maestro Traditional Series SD-FM AWH Torrefied Adirondack and Flamed Maple Slope Shoulder

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 Slope Shoulder Dreadnought guitar with a Solid Torrefied Adirondack Spruce top, solid Flamed Maple back and sides 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.
