Love Maker Zenith

My father Bill Rudder thought the word “Zenith” described a product as the best or highest level of quality at this time. I agree. Per Bill Rudder’s guidance, we will always keep searching for a better way and incorporate this better way into our products. 

Zenith Lovemaker’s includes all the Rudder Guitar Features with only a few options.

LoveMaker Zenith Freedom Performance Circuit or FPC

All Rudder Guitars have the F.P.C. to begin our quest for a guitar to create your new unique sounds.  We do this intentionally by matching up all of our electronics and hand soldering the components for the most versatile production of fresh new sounds with a new clarity. You can now produce multiple and even new types of music with their distinct sound to send into your pedals and amplifier. Everything looks clean on the top of your guitar because of our eliminating the need for micro switches all over the guitar body.
