This is one of our first two guitars from Singapore's Hozen Guitars.
Handbuilt by a small team assembled by master luthier Ho Zen Yong, Hozen Guitars combine premium tonewoods with modern appointments.
The Blue Label is Hozen's flagship range, showcasing many of the flagship features that Hozen Guitars boast, including a comfort arm bevel, rib bevel, soundport and Florentine cutaway.
The Small Jumbo model is exactly that - larger than OM but smaller than Jumbo. With a 15.5” lower bout and tight waist, it combines power with dynamic character and sweetness in an impressively versatile instrument.
This SJ has Indian Rosewood back and sides paired with a torrefied Adirondack Spruce top. A carbon fiber-reinforced mahogany neck is topped by an ebony fretboard.
The ebony theme continues with an ebony bridge, bridge pins and binding, and the guitar comes with a proprietary Hozen Guitars fitted hard case.
