The Zeal
Built to offer the most articulate tonality possible
The Zeal's body design inherently increases sustain and makes extremely low action possible while offering increadible stability. The deep carves of the heel and tummy cut allow for a completely uninhibited playing experience. The result is a single cut that is extremely expressive and responsive.
The Zeal is available in multiple configurations:
Natural:
The Natural series includes top tier options and unique upgrades that take the Zeal design to astounding visual heights. A hand carved bevel travels around the instrument, varying in thickness and depth. This is a great option if you want a high grade or exotic wood "droptop".

Modern:
The Modern Series further maximizes the ergonomic potential of the Zeal design and includes multiple modern upgrades and improvements. The body is fully carved to be as ergonomic as possible. The carve of the top falls away smoothly, blending the player and instrument together. This option works best when the instrument is painted or has no drop-top.
