Victoria / ZES-1400SD / 1960 / Sunburst / Guitar
Hard to pinpoint pieces are our wheelhouse. What IS this thing? We'll tell you. This is a 1960's Victoria by Zen On. This frankenpiece came out of Japan like the rest of its equally-funky counterparts. We've reached out to our 60's Japanese gearheads and they've (sort of) helped us identify this for us. This model is closest to Zen On's ZES-1400SD. While the pickups and headstock are different from a traditional ZES-1400SD, we found that they were "mix-&-matched" for distributors and and finding large quantities of identically produced pieces ain't easy! The thing we love about this Victoria, and most of the Japanese 60's guitar explosion pieces, are that they are incredibly constructed and the tone from the (millions of different) Japenese pickups is quite versatile. You will not find a cleaner on than this, AND a case. Yes, that's right. An original case. Hen's teeth, I tell you. This piece weighs 5lbs 6oz, has a neck radius of 12" and is 1 3/4".
