This is a dream guitar! The Santos Rosewood - " Pau Ferro" is a beautiful sustainable wood. It has been used in musical instruments for a long time, but ZAAR has taken the lead using this wood like a custom luthier would. I am very pleased to own a guitar of such beauty and sound and not deforesting the planet! The inlays are perfect and the tone is bold, bright but very rounded in the mid to low ranges. The attention to details is like no other guitar I have played. The output is fantastic. It plays great and I am enjoying the clean fingering this board creates. This will be my front guitar and I look forward to sharing it with my audience. A guitar is more than a wooden box with silver wires and people enjoy it when a guitar has a story to tell. The Z420SE is the "Art of Guitar Making." ZAAR really understands this guitar as they put a beautiful gloss finish which brings out the tone like a hardwood wants. I would recommend getting the G6 pickup. It's not only has an equalizer, but chorus and reverb too. What a bonus! ZAAR proved to me you can own a superior musical instrument and not have to pay a fortune. Finally, I want everyone to know ZAAR is completely transparent about their guitars. All you have to do is ask. Their pricing structure is clear on the website. If you want a laminated guitar you pay less and if you want a solid guitar you pay more. Simple! It's our choice! I chose the solid wood, yes!!!
