Imported from Turkey where the Saz continues to be an important Turkish folk instrument. This electronic saz has a Humbucking pickup. This beautiful electronic saz has 5 metal strings laid out in 2 courses of 2 and on single. Each string has a fine tuning knob at the base of the face. As expected the action is very low. There are 24 tied nylon frets and 6 lightwood tuning pegs.
The overall length is 42 inches. It has a 30.5 inch nut to bridge length. The body is 9 inches wide by 14.5 inches long by 9 inches deep. The lightwood neck contrasts nicely with the dark face on this saz. The body is stave construction with a rich colored stain under a high gloss finish. The bridge is unfinished. The hook-up, volume, bass and treble all have independent on-off switches. Soft zipper case included. String sets and plectrums are sold separately.
NOTE: Please expect the high gloss finish on the Turkish Saz to show dimples in the light. A perfectly smooth, unblemished, finish is nearly impossible to obtain with the technology employed in the Old-World finish process. These are handmade and such dimples are common and unavoidable.
Scratch & Dent Savings!!! Product codes ending in "-2" are Blemished. They are New and Unused with Superficial blemishes that may include, blisters in the finish, scratches, dents, stains, discoloration, rust or pitting on metals, imperfect glazes, non-structural repairs such as putty in nail holes, or other surface marks. The irregularity does not affect the playability or sound quality of the instrument. These are a good value.
