Key Features

Zebulon Turrentine’s guitars have become increasingly sought after in recent years for their innovative blend of modern construction with traditional tonal ideals. This 2024 instrument, his 92nd build, is an outstanding example of his latest work: a lattice-braced concert guitar that offers rich responsiveness, complex sustain, and surprising clarity, all in a distinctly American aesthetic.

Turrentine’s background as both a player and a luthier informs every detail. This instrument is featherlight in feel yet powerful in sound, and beautifully finished with thoughtful wood choices and intricate visual elements. The slightly radiused fingerboard, tall frets, and meticulous setup make for an extraordinarily comfortable playing experience.

Sound & Playability

This guitar blends the power and responsiveness expected from a modern lattice-braced guitar with tonal qualities more often associated with traditional Spanish instruments. The sound is full and clear, with a blooming response in every register.

The basses are robust and present without being overbearing, and the trebles are rich, sustained, and full of color. Turrentine’s lattice design—focused only in the center of the lower bout—allows for incredible projection while preserving a sensitive, flexible dynamic range.

Playability is top-tier: the neck profile is ergonomic, the frets are tall and polished, and the action is surprisingly low at 3mm without sacrificing power or tone. The slightly radiused fingerboard offers additional comfort without alienating traditional players.

Final Thoughts

This 2024 Zebulon Turrentine is a masterful concert guitar from one of the most promising American luthiers working today. With a bold, modern voice, outstanding responsiveness, and an unforgettable aesthetic, it offers serious value for the player or collector seeking a refined yet dynamic instrument.
