The Shapes

Guitar Body Shapes

The body shape sets the stage before a single note is played — how far a guitar reaches, how it sits against you, and the balance of power, projection and comfort you feel in your hands.

Each Hozen shape is drawn and voiced for a purpose, from the focused articulation of an OM to the deep authority of a Dreadnought. The dimensions are a starting point; the voicing is tuned to the player.

Comparatively compact next to a Dreadnought, the OM body style still provides a fair dose of power and dynamic range while having improved articulation and note separation. Players will enjoy its strong presence and great balance across the entire sonic spectrum.

Modified Dreadnought

The Modified Dreadnought is a true fingerstyle dreadnought guitar. You get the big round bass of a dread with the trebles having no trouble keeping up with projection and loudness. The waist and center of balance makes this shape ideal for musicians who sit rather than stand.
