Post subject: | KOZM Guitars - Acoustic / Electric Hybrid |
Just wanted to give you an idea of what's currently coming down the line at KOZM - The "Performer LS". It's an acoustic - electric hybrid, with a conventional magnetic pickup. Intended to produce an amplified sound that's clean and very "acoustic guitar-ish". No artificial, snappy sounding piezos. No need for a special acoustic amp or pre-amp. ![]() Front woods: Maple center, black maple stripes, yellow Alaskan cedar ![]() Ergonomic, organic, natural body shape. No sharp edges or corners. ![]() The elliptical hole is for threading strings through the custom hard-tail bridge system. Mahogany back. ![]() ![]() Joe Barden Deluxe-S "mini humbucker", mounted close to the bridge, and on a non-floating pick-up mount. ![]() Cutaway view of the non-floating p-up mount. I hope to have some photos of actual progress in the days ahead. Stay tuned! Jeff Kosmoski KOZM Guitars |

The body halves have been glued together, and I had a chance to do some sanding today. The aluminum "saddle base" goes out for anodizing tomorrow. I'm hoping the Joe Barden pickup arrives tomorrow. Clear poly in a few days. Stay tuned! Jeff KOZM Guitars |
