Make N Music Description: The S-24 DT Disc Front is probably one of Tony Zemaitis' best known models! Made famous by players like Ronnie Wood from the Faces & Rolling Stones and Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes. Like the other Custom Shop Zemaitis guitars it is also completely hand-made with the following features: Elaborately, hand-engraved artwork designed by Danny O'Brien that covers the Metal Top, truss rod cover, ''Z'' emblem, pickup rings, switch surround and tailpiece. Finished like the originals in a very thin, Black Satin lacquer over Mahogany body and neck (this is not a thick, smooth or high-gloss finish. It's lovingly hand-applied) 8lbs even Amazingly playable and great sounding too. The last Zemaitis I saw on e-bay was listed at $79,000!!! This one has a much more friendly price. Call for more complete details. Teddy Gordon- Make'n Music 312.455.1970

"Call for price!" always scares me  smi

The more I think about the control layout the less it bothers me...it would be different and I don't really know how much I would bother with 3 tone controls but they do get everything out of the way of your right hand.

I've never played a Zemaitis but they seem to have a good reputation...I wouldn't mind at least giving it a spin even though its not really how I would personally design a guitar.


Have you ever tried a James Trussart guitar?

Another of those "how can that really sound good"? guitars but they actually are pretty cool for what they are....

[Help!I'maRock!]

call for price just means they can't advertise it.

it's a good looking guitar...but for me....zemaitis and others like them are more works of art than players....

I've just never been able to get into the Zemaitis stuff. I mean, I can appreciate the level of craftsmanship that goes into them, but they just don't appeal to me at all. idn_smilie
