About Maestro Guitars (& Ukuleles)
Started in 2004 with the vision of offering value-for-money instruments, Maestro Guitars evolved into one of the leading makers of premium guitars and ukuleles in the world. The once small dream of having his own guitar brand birthed Hozen’s lifelong commitment of making finely handmade instruments more accessible. Our story of resilience, dedication, and passion may serve as an inspiration for others to find their purpose and chase after their dream.
Hozen’s family are the first piano builders in Singapore. Though he was exposed to the trade at a very young age, he did not develop a keen interest in the instrument business until 2001, when he started helping his father in instrument repairs. What was supposed to be a holiday became a life changing trip for Hozen when he accompanied his father to the Music China exhibition in 2003. Having met guitar manufacturers, he was inspired to start his own. He later studied the possibility of building guitars by importing parts and assembling them in Singapore. The rest is history
