kavari

meet our premiere offering— the kavari.

it's a semi-hollow electric guitar that pays homage to the great inventors of the electric guitar era.

our process started with an offset guitar design inspired by jet-age optimism, when science would solve the world's problems and we would live on colonies in the stars.

the contours echo those of the Zen On ZES 170, but with some decidedly next millennium innovations under the hood.
