Maestro Traditional Series SD – FM AWH

Master Luthier HoZen leads his team of craftsman at Maestro in Singapore to create fine acoustic instruments. Each guitar is unique and is hand voiced to bring out that uniqueness. The SD is is HoZen's sloped shoulder dreadnought and this particluar one is made with beautiful flamed maple back and sides. Each of their guitars is beautifully appointed and meticulously made with pride and a desire to hand amazing guitars to players. Among guitars, HoZen's Maestro offers, perhaps, the greatest value in fine instruments. They are uncompromisingly well made, incredible sounding, and significantly less expensive than their counterparts.

The Maestro Traditional Series SD FM AWH brings classic small-body charm together with Maestro’s boutique hand-voicing, creating a guitar that’s light, lively, and incredibly expressive. The SD shape offers the comfort and balance of an OM-style instrument with the added depth and projection players love for both fingerstyle and strumming.

This model features a Flamed Maple body (FM) paired with a responsive top, producing a tone that is articulate, focused, and pleasantly bright with excellent note separation. Maple’s natural clarity makes this guitar perfect for players who want definition in every chord and a voice that cuts through without harshness.

The guitar blends understated sophistication with the visual pop of flamed maple. As with all Maestro instruments, it’s hand-built in small batches with hand-voiced bracing, ensuring every guitar resonates freely and responds beautifully to a light touch.
