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 our instruments are handmade in a humidity-controlled facility in limited quantities using age-proven techniques. The tonewoods we 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, our instruments feature Carbon Fiber Reinforced necks and are PLEK Setup. Our 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 us and our instruments exceptional is our 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, we 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.
