The ZEN is a nylon-string crossover guitar designed for the modern musician.
An instrument designed primarily for jazz and fusion, yet offering endless possibilities for use. The guitar features an elegant soundboard profile crafted according to a geometric and harmonious development of shapes.
The internal structure is the result of extensive acoustic research into the vibrational modes of soundboards, while the soundholes, positioned on the inert areas of the soundboard, allow for the best optimization of the instrument’s acoustic properties.
The ZEN stands out for its powerful and balanced sound, characterized by a responsive attack and a sustain rich in harmonics; it is designed to perfectly meet the needs of the professional player who wants a versatile and practical guitar for studio and stage recording.
The Zen is a fully acoustic instrument, but can be equipped with highly professional amplification systems: – Integrated custom system UTOPIA-1 by Nico Di Battista
The guitar is available in three different versions: classical, fusion, and flamenco. Each version can be customized (materials, neck size, action, finish, etc.) according to the customer’s needs.
The Zen is available with two different finishes: shellac or nitrocellulose.
