ZENO SKY – (Family: Aquila Sky Guitar)
General Description:
The “ZENO SKY” bears the name of Uli’s brother ZENO, the great song-writer and guitar player. This guitar is dedicated to his memory. The first prototype was coincidentally finished in the same week that ZENO passed away, in February 2018. Uli is convinced that this Sky Guitar would have been perfect for Zeno and he would have loved it.
The ZENO SKY is the first in the line of the SILVER SERIES SKY GUITARS, and it is also the most affordable choice of all available Sky Guitars.
Despite its entry level price the ZENO SKY is a fully fledged genuine Sky Guitar in most of the important aspects and offers the same tonal range as all other Sky Guitars.
