Zemaitis Custom Shop MF500-TT2 Metal Front Tribal Tattoo Guitar
Tony Zemaitis was always seeking to improve and innovate. His original concept for the Zemaitis Metal Front™ was to shield the guitar and reduce the hum found in many mainstream guitars. The first Zemaitis Metal Front™ guitar was made in the late 60s for Tony McPhee of the Groundhogs and the idea was successful in more ways than one.
Zemaitis Metal Front GuitarsThe unique design of the Zemaitis Metal Front™ reduces humming and noise and also gives the guitar a truly unique tone. However Tony asked Danny O'Brien to hand-engrave the Metal Front™ and make these guitars stunning works of art!
And so the Metal Front™ became one of Tony's signature models – played by such stars as Ronnie Wood, Rich Robinson (Black Crowes), Marc Bolan (T-Rex) and Gilby Clarke (Guns N’ Roses).
Zemaitis Metal Front Duo-CutThe Zemaitis Metal Front™ series is available in two distinct body shapes: The pretty narrow-wasted single-cutaway Mono-Cut™ is the traditional Zemaitis body.
The Duo-Cut™ (right) features the highly distinctive second cutaway that Tony created as an alternative body-style for the Zemaitis Metal Front™.
