Zaffiro is the Italian word for, “sapphire.”

This gem of a guitar has quietly been impressing players all over the world. We set out not to conquer the guitar universe or topple the big 3 but rather to simply fill a niche…a void, if you will, that we believed was a direct result of the big guys needing to sell production instruments in mass quantities. We thought it possible to build quality instruments, specializing in areas not actively filled by most builders and perhaps still make a profit. With direct sales to 21 US states and 10 foreign countries as well as stellar magazine reviews both in Europe and at Harmony-Central.com, the Zaffiro has established itself as an instrument that firmly bridges the gap between production and boutique guitars.

The US crafted Zaffiro can be configured as a small jazz box or a blues beast to compete among the best instruments available at roughly half the price. It has found its way into the hands of working musicians looking for a quality and reliable instrument with beauty, tone and playability. To keep the price down, we’ve kept it simple. Beautiful tops, the finest electronics and hardware and a custom TKL case with velour interior, with prices beginning at $1295.00 direct.
