Prieger Custom Guitars- Zsu-S Outset B. Blues Tele Model “ Vetro B S Andras signature guitar

At first look, the guitar's beautiful color, texture, original shape with a pleasant aesthetic sense and warm voice captivate the interested person. I have been interested in the concept for a long time, - it took a long time before I came across the Hungarian manufactory of Prieger Custom Guitars.

After several exchanges of letters, we managed to outline an idea, and this was achieved with the expertise of guitar maker Tamás Prieger. The backbone of the line was driven by a reliable, warm-sounding, inspiring, comfortable, unique concept-based masterpiece, and by peeling together info we managed to approach and shape the dreamed-up plan. In shaping the body, we came to the individual design by examining the Fender Telecaster types and modifying them slightly. The project also included bends and roundings to keep the forearm, which is often seen on Kiesel guitars, and the lower half of the body tried the cut-out pattern seen at ChapmanTelecasters for easy playing. And when placing the pots, the size of my hand and the order seen on the Esp Ltd Te-401 seemed to be the most suitable. In designing the head, the elegant solutions seen on the two-line PRS guitars gave the idea. And the insertion points on the side of the fingerboard are marked with a neon green light that glows in the dark under UV light, as with some Schecter guitars. The double humbuckers were also placed in the optimal positions in the beaker for the harmonics. In terms of sound and tone, the benchmarks were the Prieger master guitars made and tested so far.

The Zsu-S model name: a combination of the words Zsuzsa (my mother’s first name) and Sabverott Soulguard guitarpick (a boutique guitar picks brand designed with my son).

Zsu-S Outset Model * Vetro B S Andras signature guitar:

Alder body, foamy black walnut "bookmatched" top (a symmetrical open book-like place setting for a tree. It is cut and opened to the top.) Good wood is essential to get a good sound. Prieger Custom guitars- Zsu-S Model is a reliable signature guitar with an elegant Telecaster-like outset model and sounded “arm rest” body shape with rounded and slightly stretched (for a comfortable grip on the forearm) position.

Similar guitar bodyes siluettes concept: One-of-a-kind Ibanez/Starfield Cabriolet USA Custom Shop built by legendary Mace Bailey (the master luthier at Ibanez/Starfield) in 1992 or 1993. Unlike the made in Japan production Starfields (which were also excellent), this is a rare, hand-crafted instrument. Mace Bailey has also built guitars for Steve Vai, Reb Beach, and others. This one was built for James Atkins of the 90’s Seattle band Hammerbox.


The alder is widely used because of its lighter body weight and overall sound. It is a fairly light and semi-hard kind of wood, so it is not suitable for a neck, but it is very often used for a guitar body. Here, on the other hand, combined with a maple neck, it results in a clean, smooth high range with dynamic, detailed mids and combined with walnuts with warm depths. Its sound is said to be the most balanced, with an equal proportion of bass, midrange and treble. For years, the alder was the basis of Fender’s bodies and the distinctive sound of some of the most enduring pieces of modern contemporary music. The body is based on a sandwich construction, with a single notch to make higher pitches available to the guitarist. A decorative stripe insert maple running through the front in the middle.

Wenge. The wenge tree is very massive and strong, occurring in the Central African Republic, Congo, Tanzania and the southern regions of Mozambique. It has black and chocolate brown stripes. It is usually available quartered due to straight veins. It resembles an open-veined zebrafish, but is black. This body belongs to the heavyweight category. Due to its weight, it has good sound endurance. Oily surface treatment is the most popular, but no surface treatment is required. His voice is balanced, with great midrange and a quick start. It is liked by guitar makers because it has an impressive sound. The wood material is primarily responsible for the sound character of the guitar! (Many people have the misconception that the sound of electric guitars is determined by the pickups, but this is not entirely true ... Although they are responsible for it in the same proportion, the pickup can only pick up the signal it receives. Here comes the tree, as a guitar sounds so that the swung string vibrates the wood, thus vibrating the string back, thus maintaining its vibration.)

The neck with a total of 22 frets/tangents is connected to the body at the 17th tangent. Traditionally, circular inlays on the fingerboard help with orientation. Touches 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 17, 19, 21 have an embedded logo and 12 has a Sabverott logo inlay. The neck is fixed to the body with four screws, the advantage being that it can be removed as needed. The neck brace adjustment screw is located at the bottom of the neck, after the 22 bund, at the point of contact with the body. Maple electronics cavity cover, electronics cavity blown with graphite. Protects with nitro primer and matte nitro topcoat.

Identification code: PT205121 (master's name is initials, 2o -is the year, 5- is the month, 12 -is the exact date of the first correspondence and the concept sketch, 21- is the finished state.

2o21.o8.2o.- the date of handing over of the individual master guitar, which is hidden at the junction of the neck and body, is entered.

The Zsu-S Model of the Prieger Custom Guitars, like most guitars, is made with six strings, of which, according to the tradition of electric guitars, three are shrouded, three smooth strings. In this model, the strings of the guitar have to be strung on the back of the instrument in an interesting way. After threading, the bushings secure the string, while the other end is transferred to the string legs. The strings then "make" 65 inches to the top saddle - this is called the scale length or beaker. This guitar also outlines a strong and reliable fixed stringed solution. A further advantage of this solution is that, as the strings are extremely stable, the instrument has a long sound endurance and good bass transmission. In addition, the fixed stringed solution further protects the tuning than structures with a tremolo arm. Rosewood marking dots and octave inlay were given to the fingerboard. The alder has excellent sustain due to stringing through the body.

The Neck:

3 parts maple + 2 parts wenge neck. Striped maple fingerboard - (flame tongue or tiger maple usually refers to stripes), with super glue hard coating. On the maple fingerboard you can see circular inlays, and on the octave you can see a beautifully crafted Sabverott logo designed by Péter Vetró, referring to the name.

Marking points:

On the side of the fingerboard, appear in neon-green glowing in the dark under UV light. The (phosphorescent powder mixed with epoxy) position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.
