Description     On offer is a new Zemaitis GZMF 301 made by the esteemed guitar makers Greco, in Japan 2009. This is a superb guitar, featuring the near-mythical Zemaitis metal front with the Danny O'Brien design. Danny worked with Tony Zemaitis on the original guitars and basses, he is the artist responsible for the very cool, custom etchings that were synonymous with Zemaitis. Danny is also known for his brilliant, custom etching work on shotguns.  Zemaitis guitars are played by Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, Dave Gilmour, Paul MacCartney, Eric Clapton and Rich Robinson (Black Crowes) amongst others, originals regularly sell for $50,000 US plus... but here is a Zemaitis that will be a much easier on the pocket.   In near pristine, showroom condition, this Zemaitis features a one piece Honduran mahogany body and neck (as opposed to the recent Generation II guitars with Nato bodies and neck, not made by Greco) and is factory fitted with a pair of DiMarzio Custom PAF's.   This is a very, very cool guitar, very reminiscent of Ron Wood in The Faces in the early to mid 1970's. Supplied with its OHSC.All shots are of the Zemaitis GZMF 301 on offer which is also on display here at our retail store in Sydney's Inner West, you are very welcome to visit us. Open 7 days a week from 10am, daily.

About Zemaitis Guitars "Art with Strings"
Zemaitis Guitars is a British guitar-manufacturing company based in Tokyo, Japan. The company's guitars are based on designs by the Lithuanian luthier Tony Zemaitis. The company is led by his son, Tony Zemaitis, Jr., and produces both electric and acoustic guitars.Tony Zemaitis began producing guitars in the 1950s and entered the guitar making profession full-time in 1965. During the 1970s, he began experimenting with placing a metal shield on the top of the guitar in order to eliminate microphonic noise picked up by the guitars' pickups. To enhance the visual aspect of the guitars, Zemaitis enlisted the skills of gun engraver Danny O'Brien. The designs include elaborate pearl inlay, either of figures like dragons and skulls or complete mosaic-like inlaid tops.
