I ordered mine last fall when they were first announced and it was just delivered this week. I have been a Zaar Guitar owner of 2 acoustics for over 2 years now and have been extremely satisfied with both my Santos Rosewood and Zircote. Their workmanship, quality, gorgeous builds, overall tone/sound, electrics and playability have been unmatched! So when Craig made the decision to enter an electric sold body guitar into their catalog, well, without hesitation, I was down:) First, the overall design and esthetics are unlike anything on the market! It was a tough decision having a choice of six colors to choose from but I ultimately wanted something that popped so I chose the POLAR REEF/BLACK COMBO so when it arrived and I unboxed it..I had to just stand back, take a moment to behold the beauty of this gorgeous guitar! It is gorgeously handcrafted with an extreme high quality of craftsmanship. I was so anxious to get into my studio, plug it into my Orange Super Crush amp via my pedalboard and crank it. The result was unreal...ballsy, loud and crystal clear Humbuckers shook the room! It was a pro set up and perfectly tuned out of the box. I did not order the case right away as I have so many Strat/Tele type hard cased I thought might fit. Well..haha..they kinda do ok but this guitar design begs for a custom designed and cut case just for The Cicero Black so I will be ordering the case soon:). It plays like butter, smooth, nice, well polished fret ends and slick, sweet neck/fretboard combo. The black Zaar locking tuners are nothing like anything else out there...heavy duty and really gorgeous culminating in a beautiful headstock! OK, Craig, I know you are saying to yourself "will this guy ever stop"? Yup, so yea, I need to get back into my Nashville studio and write some new music with this amazing guitar which will suite my Rock, Metal and Nashville sounds all in one...but I still might plug my Tele in.....sometime ..LOL!
