As time goes by, our perception of lifestyle, values,and self-expression continuously transform.Yet, my love for the guitar remains unchanged.
Believing in the expression from within, I havebeen able to persist in the style of “TomoyasuHotei” simply because this guitar has always beenby my side.
In the future ahead, I will embark on a journeywith “Zodiac NEO”
Tomoyasu Hotei
At the predecessor company, ZODIACWORKS, I spentabout 30 years as a luthier, working on guitarproduction alongside the late Mr. Atsushi Matsuzaki,the founder.
For me, continuing to build the iconic guitar for aguitarist Tomoyasu Hotei is something I devote myselfto, and I can confidently say that it is my life’s work.
At “Zodiac NEO”, I will continue to create specialinstruments that embrace your musical journey,drawing upon all my knowledge of guitar productionfrom the past.
While upholding the legacy of our predecessor, I amenthusiastic about advancing technological innovationand pursuing designs that ignite players’ imaginations.
Chasing new dreams.
