We crafted the fretboard from SaRaiFo (&#8220;Save the Rain Forest&#8221;) material. This consists of fast-growing woods\u2014such as bamboo\u2014that undergo a special lamination and dyeing process, making them visually almost indistinguishable from genuine ebony.<br \/>\nThe result is stunning, even when played unplugged! The sound is incredibly clear and transparent, offering endless overtones without delivering harsh, annoying high frequencies. It is also extremely lightweight and highly resonant, providing lightning-fast, precise response along with long, balanced sustain.<br \/>\nWhen plugged into an amp, the hand-wound H\u00e4ussel pickups perfectly showcase this fundamental character. The tone remains consistently clear and transparent\u2014warm and full-bodied, yet never muddy. With its HSH pickup configuration and coil-splitting capabilities for both humbuckers, this guitar offers exceptional sonic versatility.<br \/>\nThe hardware\u2014supplied by Schaller and ABM\u2014is also German-made and represents some of the highest quality on the market; crucially, it is manufactured in compliance with German production and environmental standards, without the use of low-wage labor.<br \/>\nBy utilizing short supply chains with local producers and powering our workshop with green electricity, we ensure the smallest possible carbon footprint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":138288,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[51],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-138299","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-custom-en","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NH Blackburst - Zeal Guitars<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"NH Blackburst Custom E-Gitarre byZeal Guitars, sustainably handmade in Germany from domestic woods, hardware and pickups.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/zeal-guitars.de\/en\/produkt\/nh-blackburst\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"NH Blackburst - Zeal Guitars\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"NH Blackburst Custom E-Gitarre byZeal Guitars, sustainably handmade in Germany from domestic woods, hardware and pickups.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/zeal-guitars.de\/en\/produkt\/nh-blackburst\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Zeal Guitars\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/zealguitars\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-26T06:54:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/zeal-guitars.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/NH_Blackburst10.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"900\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/zeal-guitars.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/nh-blackburst\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/zeal-guitars.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/nh-blackburst\\\/\",\"name\":\"NH Blackburst - Zeal Guitars\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/zeal-guitars.de\\\/en\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/zeal-guitars.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/nh-blackburst\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/zeal-guitars.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/nh-blackburst\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/zeal-guitars.de\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/08\\\/NH_Blackburst10.jpg?fit=1200%2C900&ssl=1\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-08-26T06:18:29+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-08-26T06:54:14+00:00\",\"description\":\"NH Blackburst Custom E-Gitarre byZeal Guitars, sustainably handmade in Germany from domestic woods, hardware and pickups.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/zeal-guitars.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/nh-blackburst\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/zeal-guitars.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/nh-blackburst\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/zeal-guitars.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/nh-blackburst\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/zeal-guitars.de\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/08\\\/NH_Blackburst10.jpg?fit=1200%2C900&ssl=1\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/zeal-guitars.de\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/08\\\/NH_Blackburst10.jpg?fit=1200%2C900&ssl=1\",\"width\":1200,\"height\":900,\"caption\":\"NH Blackburst electric guitar by Zeal Guitars.
