Zemaitis MF500 Skull

Tony Zemaitis was always seeking to improve and innovate. His original
concept for the Zemaitis Metal Front™ was to shield the guitar and
reduce the hum found in many mainstream guitars. The first Zemaitis Metal
Front™ guitar was made in the late 60s for Tony
McPhee of the Groundhogs and the idea was successful in more ways
than one.

The
unique design of the Zemaitis Metal Front™ reduces humming and noise
and also gives the guitar a truly unique tone. However Tony asked Danny
O'Brien to hand-engrave the Metal Front™ and make these guitars
stunning works of art!

And so the Metal Front™ became one of Tony's signature models –
played by such stars as Ronnie
Wood, Rich
Robinson (Black Crowes), Marc
Bolan (T-Rex) and Gilby
Clarke (Guns N’ Roses).

The
Zemaitis Metal Front™ series is available in two distinct body shapes:
The pretty narrow-wasted single-cutaway Mono-Cut™ is the traditional
Zemaitis body.

The Duo-Cut™ (right) features the highly distinctive second cutaway
that Tony created as an alternative body-style for the Zemaitis Metal
Front™.
