ZEMAITIS GUITARS

When Kurt set out 1999 to make his vision real, he was dead sure about one thing: He wanted to be financially independent of record companies and multinational corporate groups. Accordingly the “incurable guitar junkie“ sold the biggest part of his unique collection, including some instruments by the legendary English guitar maker Tony Zemaitis. Zemaitis was the luthier virtually created the ”boutique“ guitar but he never opened a factory, never advertised and only made a few guitars every year. His guitars were played by a lot of stars: Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards, George Harrison, Marc Bolan, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan – and many more. Ron Wood and Ronnie Lane were some of the earliest rock stars to buy Zemaits electric guitars and maybe the best known.

Kurt has used three of these guitars for the sessions and they are the inspiration for the CD art work.
