From the Hozen Guitars Blue Series. The rosette is inspired by none other than Ervin Somogyi himself —as he graciously permitted. I want to pay tributes to people who inspire me in my craft and remember them along the way. I love how the paua accentuates the green stabilized wood for the rosette. I have come up with matching end graft details along with the rosette. This guitar is adorned with my signature headstock design, body rest, "Laskin"—style armrest, matching "Bashkin"—style fretboard markers.
