I owned a Zemaitis acoustic many years ago. It was a Maccaferri type guitar. Big chunky neck. It had been made for a musician called Allen Bradley here in UK if I remember correctly. It was a great guitar, though as others have noted, quite rough round the edges. I wrote to Tony Z asking him a couple of questions (no internet then remember) and he wrote me a very full and charming reply. He was clearly a lovely chap. I still have the letter, but not the guitar!

Here he is
Tony with his wife.
And George Harrison playing his guitar. My understanding is that he made guitars for quite a few notables, including Eric Clapton.

Beautiful restoration work, bro!
May I send you a guitar that needs a new top? And back? And probably new sides while we're at it...? SK |

I'd love to know what happened to my early one. |

and sure, I guess just send the neck and a general idea of what you want, flat top, arch top, classical, hurdy gurdy, what ever.

Ah yes, so glad you were not in a fire. I was confusing you momentarily with Howard Klepper.

Very interesting guitars and great stories. Two questions please
How were you able to re-use the rosette? I can see saving a round rosette, but.... Is the bridge all one piece? Thanks, Ed |

The bridge is one piece with the exception of the two dots which are bridge pin heads cut off the pins and glued to the top.

I love the sound of Zemaitis acoustics, they are unique in appearance, and may come off sounding dry to some, but their midrange tone works in the music that I like. I especially liked to hear Ronnie Lane of The Faces play his.

Man ... I just love the quirky aesthetic to this Zemaitis inspired guitar John!

As a primarily electric player for some 30 years, I'm familiar with his electrics (I'd think most of thegearpage folks would be), did not know he did acoustics.
