A magnificent body

Pure tonewood beauty radiates with a stunning combination of satin and gloss finishes. And they sound beautiful too. The Thomas Zwijsen Signature allows you to experiment with a superbly versatile tone courtesy of the maple back and sides and a solid Canadian spruce top. Maple, a dense hardwood, is the ultimate gigging companion thanks to its ability to serve quick note decay, resulting in minimal feedback. Whether you're practicing complex chords, speedy fingerpicking styles, or following in Thomas Zwijsen's footsteps and transforming rock and metal into classical, you will never sound muddy. Such a well-defined tone is also wonderfully bright and loud, more attributes that promise unforgettable performances.

Maple's tone is met with gloriously crisp articulation brought by the Thomas Zwijsen Signature's solid Canadian spruce top. Spruce offers a whole host of sonic attributes that beg the creativity of modern guitarists. Its versatile, balanced tone encompasses a broad dynamic range, meaning you can play with any technique or style you choose and still sound amazing. Don't hold back on the Thomas Zwijsen Signature, it is built for unique playing.

Prepare for flawless fretting

The fretboard of the guitar is also crafted from maple, meaning you can experience this stunning tonewood's tonal benefits in endless amounts. But granting amazing stability to this part of the guitar is the wondrous mahogany neck. Mahogany is a superbly robust tonewood that thrives off any wild playing. It delivers a warm and resonant tone which complements the brightness of maple and spruce, giving you an even more balanced sound. With punchy tonal attributes too, your performances are sure to be dynamic. Better still, the beauty of mahogany truly lies in its ability to age so elegantly, becoming more focused as it matures. This means you don't need to worry about your guitar becoming worn as the years go by, it will only become more gorgeous.

In order to experiment with various techniques, you'll want the utmost comfort while doing so. The wider fretboard and neck offer immense playability, so you can unleash your creativity and play without hindrance. A cutaway body shape also contributes to an easy playing experience as it allows you to reach the upper frets without any struggle. So, with the help of the glistening sound of nylon strings, those higher notes will ring out with gleaming clarity and hang in the air with shimmering sustain.

Exquisite electronics

Amplify such a stunning acoustic sound without losing a touch of defintion. The Fishman/Ortega Clasica Blend electronic system lets you blend the piezo pickup with the guitar's electronics, giving you a sound that retains all that natural beauty. With bass, middle, and treble controls, you can sculpt your tone with amazing precision and achieve a sound that is wonderfully distinctive, whilst always staying in tune thanks to a handy onboard tuner.
