General
The black Zwier T-model electric guitar is modelled after the iconic single-cut guitar from the fifties. It features an ash body and an oiled maple neck with a 21-fret rosewood fretboard. As the back of the neck is oiled rather than lacquered, it feels very soft and smooth, even when your hands are sweaty from an intense on-stage performance. The body is also oiled and hand-rubbed with wax. What's more, this rugged Custom T guitar underwent a special ageing treatment, so that it looks like a guitar that's been played for the past 50 years. The guitar comes with a tweed case, a leather Zwier guitar strap and a certificate of authenticity by the Dutch guitar maker.
Zwier T-model: hand-wound pickups and high-quality hardware
These two hand-wound 4 Seasons single-coil pickups were specially designed for Zwier T models. They produce a wide, all-round sound and are suited for both twangy cleans and high-gain distortions. Their tone is tight and defined with full bass. The Zwier T model guitar is fitted with vintage-style Gotoh machine heads, a self-lubricating Graphtech Tusq string nut and a vintage-style bridge with compensated brass saddles that work together to make sure the entire guitar sounds pure and that it retains its tuning excellently. The electronics consist of high-quality CTS potentiometers, a CRL switch and a Switchcraft USA jack output, for long, reliable operation.
The high quality of a hand-made guitar
Once you hold a genuine Zwier guitar, you can instantly tell why Sjak Zwier holds the master builder title. His guitars are carefully crafted from the finest materials and top-shelf components. Great care has gone into mounting the neck to the body, for instance, to ensure optimal tonal transference and sustain. Additionally, Zwier guitars are excellently tuned for an incredible sound and playability that is far beyond factory-made guitars. It's small wonder then that several famous Dutch and Belgian artists have already let one or several Zwier guitars into their hearts and on-stage guitar racks.
