The name Sozo came from the Greek translation of the word "salvation," or born again. It was used in the New Testament to describe the salvation through Jesus Christ. It means complete deliverance of your current disposition.  One of the most unique and sought after features of this guitar is the inlay in the seventh fret. It is the number 7 and brings to life the guitar name. Many associate the number seven with the seventh day on which the Lord rested. It signifies completeness or perfection, and this guitar is all that and more. The creation of each Sozo was carefully thought through and offers all the things necessary for a player to bring their sound to life.  Made in the heart of rock and roll, the city of Cleveland, Ohio, this guitar is the third off the production line. During this production year, there were only eight American guitars made, so don't miss this opportunity! This guitar features a Mah body that is tone chambered on not one, but both sides. This gives the guitar a resonance like that of a solid body, with the added sustain you would get from a semi-hollow. The 3/4" 5A aqua fade flame Maple top has a look and feel unique all in itself, and with the matching 5 piece flame Maple neck, you won't find another guitar like it.  Amplify your sound with the hand wound custom humbucking pickups in both the bridge and the neck. These high output pickups give you incredible cleans, and huge crunch when you crank it.  They're a very versatile pickup great for players of all styles.  As far as hardware goes, the American Sozo guitars are loaded with Sperzel locking tuners and Graphtec bridge. Also included are strap locks, and a Sozo branded hardshell case. At The Music Farm, we take quality seriously!
