Tony Zemaitis built guitars for Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, and George Harrison, and that legacy of pairing serious craftsmanship with genuinely stunning artwork carries right through to this 2016 CS24 PF Little Ring. The hand-set abalone and pearl inlay work across the top is the real showpiece here, arranged in the refined "Little Ring" pattern that makes every one of these tops one-of-a-kind. Underneath the artwork it's a serious player's guitar too, with a three-piece mahogany neck-and-body construction and a pair of Zemaitis D-2 Classic Alnico 5 humbuckers delivering the thick, versatile tone to match the instrument's presence. At 8 lbs it's genuinely comfortable to wear despite its visual weight, diamond pearl inlays at the 12th fret keeps the theme consistent from headstock to heel. This is a rare, jaw-dropping instrument for a collector who wants Zemaitis's legendary artistry alongside real gigging-quality build and tone.
