SIWECSB4AUJF limited edition "Drift"

The Drift Model is Hozen’s quiet homage to one of the most influential instruments in contemporary fingerstyle guitar — reinterpreted through his own philosophy of responsiveness, elegance, and musical connection.

Created with the belief that exceptional guitars should remain within reach of serious fingerstylists, this model was conceived as a refined performance instrument: powerful, articulate, and deeply rewarding in the hands of the player.

Built as a Fan Fret MJ, it pairs Adirondack with Wenge — one of the most ideal tonal directions for players seeking a strong, authoritative fingerstyle voice. Adirondack brings headroom, clarity, and dynamic strength, while Wenge contributes depth, focus, and a rich low-end foundation. Together, they create a sound that is immediate, powerful, and beautifully controlled.

The inspiration behind the model is carried with restraint. Those familiar with the lineage of modern fingerstyle guitars may recognize the quiet references in its details, including the understated dot inlays, but the guitar never needs to announce itself loudly.

Limited to just 20 pieces, The Drift Model stands as a refined expression of an idea that shaped a generation of players. In spirit, it nods toward a celebrated tradition of Adirondack-topped fingerstyle instruments, including notable builds in Adirondack and Brazilian rosewood, while choosing Wenge here for its own compelling character and its ability to deliver a similarly rich and powerful tonal direction at far greater accessibility.
