Zemaitis Antanus A24SU 2017, Ruby Red

This 2017 Zemaitis Antanus A24SU carries the legacy of Tony Zemaitis's original hand-built instruments into a genuinely striking modern package, with inlaid shell work tracing the body's outer perimeter that catches the light beautifully against that deep red finish. Under the ornamentation, its sports a mahogany body and neck, a bound rosewood board, and Zemaitis's own Duralumin bridge and tailpiece, all built to real playing standards rather than just as a showpiece. Custom Zemaitis Dragon Classic humbuckers give it plenty of tonal range and output, with dual volume/tone controls and a 3-way switch putting real versatility at your fingertips. This is a striking, boutique-level instrument that pairs Zemaitis's legendary visual artistry with genuinely gig-worthy build quality at a great price.
