 Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to offer up this awesomely unique Zemaitis A24 Metal Front guitar. The laser-etched metal top helps give this axe some aesthetics you won't regularly find on a stage. This one's got their Diamond Z pattern on it. And you get all of this without compromising weight, sustain or resonance, and simply adding a cool look to an awesome sounding and playing guitar.

After a bit of time out of the limelight, Zemaitis Guitars are back and with a vengeance. In 2017 Music Store Live became an official Zemaitis dealer and we've watched as the Casimere and Antanus series have just absolutely taken off. Our techs rarely have to do much to get these guitars dialed in and ready to rock and the response has been overwhelmingly positive by those who have received them.

Short of going through Zemaitis' custom shop, the Antanus line is as good as it gets. Built in Japan by the best luthiers they've got, the refinement of this guitar is instantly noticeable as soon as you get it in your hands. For starters - for a guitar that has so much metal on it, it's really not very heavy and it balances extremely well. The satin neck is super comfortable and it gives you a nice hunk of lumber to hold onto without being so chunky that it gets in the way. Not having a paper-thin neck on this helps contribute to the powerful resonance and sustain that is felt all the way up and down the guitar.

Along with the meticulous craftsmanship and fretwork of this guitar is an electronics package that perfectly compliments the tonewoods. The Zemaitis pickups are definitely designed with the classic Gibson PAF pickups in mind and it's going to sound familiar to Les Paul enthusiasts. They are born out of that vintage sound but they have a little bit more punch and bit more edginess to them. They aren't heavily overwound like metal pickups but they do have a touch more oomph to them than PAF's but still with that classic chime in the top end. It's great for driving your pedals or your amp just a little bit more but still maintaining a classic tone.

This easily hangs in there with high-end, boutique guitars that retail at a much higher price point, and that's before the discount that we're offering on these right now. This is also one of the last remaining ones to come with rosewood and a satin finish as they will be transitioning to pau ferro fretboards and gloss necks and bodies.
