With the Red Label OO, Hozen Guitars introduces an exceptionally refined 12-fret guitar that combines the warmth of Indian rosewood with the clarity of torrefied spruce. This compact 00-body features a beautiful compound-radius ebony fingerboard and is adorned with abalone inlays that complete its elegant appearance.

In a short time, Hozen Guitars has built a strong reputation as a maker of high-quality, handcrafted instruments. The brand is known for its attention to detail and the use of premium materials, blending traditional construction techniques with modern refinements. The 12-fret design of this OO recalls the classic era of guitar making, when the neck joined the body at the twelfth fret rather than the fourteenth, as is standard today.

The combination of Indian rosewood and torrefied spruce delivers a warm, rich tone with excellent balance between bass and treble. Thanks to the torrefaction process, the spruce top has already developed the maturity typically found only in older instruments, while the rosewood provides deep, resonant bass and beautiful sustain.

The scalloped Adirondack X-bracing contributes to an open, freely resonating sound, and the compound-radius ebony fingerboard offers optimal playing comfort for both chord work and lead playing. With its 12-fret construction, this guitar has a particularly intimate, warm voice that is perfect for both fingerstyle and light strumming! It comes in a deluxe hardshell case with a certificate of authenticity.
