About Hozen Guitars
Hozen Guitars are voiced by Ho Zen Yong in Singapore and built by his small team in Guangzhou — a four-person collaborative shop turning out four or five instruments a month, all hand-voiced by Hozen himself. He trained directly under Ervin Somogyi, the modern dean of responsive acoustic voicing, and the Blue Label line carries that lineage forward in his own idiom: a signature lattice bracing pattern, rigid-rim construction, the Manzer wedge for tonal depth in a compact body, soundport, and beveled Laskin armrest. The output volume is unusual for a luthier-led shop — most peers at this level make twenty or thirty a year — which makes the Blue Labels meaningfully more findable than equivalent single-builder work, without the multi-year wait that typically gates Somogyi-school voicing.
About Corzic Music
Corzic Music is an independent shop in Longwood, in the Orlando metro, founded by Ken Steffey — an engineer and inventor who came to the guitar trade as a luthier. The bench is the shop's center: an in-house PLEK machine drives precision fret work, and Steffey handles delicate restoration on vintage instruments. The floor runs from entry-level to boutique, with authorized acoustic lines including Santa Cruz, Bourgeois, Lowden, and Huss & Dalton alongside Hozen — making Corzic a rare Central Florida destination for high-end flattops.
