Quarzo

STANDARD

Built from the finest tonewoods and following the construction methods of the golden years of the electric guitar, the Morifone Quarzo has a tone reminiscing of the late ’50s vintage instruments and offers the playability of modern guitars. A perfect blend of Origin and Originality, the Quarzo is our Flagship instrument, and is so polyvalent that it can turn pretty much any musical genre, from Classic to Hard Rock to Metal, Blues, Pop, Jazz, etc. into a masterpiece.

"The sounds, feel, and design are really phenomenal and unique in a lot of ways. I’m always going to be biased towards saving a few bucks, but this is certainly one of the few, not vintage $4000 guitars that’s worth the price tag."

SEMI-HOLLOW

A lightweight version of the Quarzo Standard, the Semi-Hollow trades a touch of roundness in its tone for a little more bite than the unchambered version. Ideal for Jazz, Surf Rock and Funk, the Quarzo Semi-Hollow is delivering a full-scale tone for a fraction of the weight.
