Cicero Limited Edition Artist Series Electric Guitar!
Introducing the 2nd release in the Zaar Cicero Limited Edition Artist Series —
Limited to an extremely low release of only 10 guitars!
Each guitar features full front-body coverage of the art piece "Tlaltecuhtli" by renowned artist, SmittenKittenTx. Also included is an artist-autographed Certificate Of Authenticity collector card.
The artist Professionally known as SmittenKittenTx, is a San Antonio, Texas-based artist. Her diverse practice encompasses relief printing, spray paint/stencil work, 3D sculpting, woodworking, and doll making.
Her art is heavily inspired by her upbringing along the US/Mexico border, exploring core themes of socio-economic issues, indigenous identity and culture, environmental concerns, animal rights, and veganism.
Her work has been exhibited across the United States in various galleries and projects, including recent showings at A05 gallery (Austin, TX), BlkWhtGry (San Antonio), Secret Gallery (Albuquerque), Munzon Gallery (Long Beach), Time before Death (New Orleans), Red Truck Gallery (New Orleans), Eastside Print Fair (Los Angeles), ZineMercado (Chicago), and the Oso Bay Biennial Print Festival (Corpus Christi). Her artwork can be viewed on her website: https://sktx.art/
This release allows you to own the raw power of the Aztec cosmos. Before the sky and earth existed, there was Tlaltecuhtli: the primordial Earth Lord who birthed our world. Carved from raw chaos, her sacred body forms the mountains you climb and the soil that feeds you. She is the ultimate symbol of fierce duality—where life demands death, and destruction breeds creation. Bring home the spirit of the ultimate Mexica monster-goddess with this exclusive Limited Edition Cicero. Every piece captures her untamed energy, her iconic clawed symmetry, and the profound mystery of the ancient Mesoamerican universe.
The Cicero is an instrument born from shadow and built for the spotlight. Cloaked in deep black from headstock to hardware and accented with a bold flash of color, the Cicero delivers the speed and bite metal players crave while effortlessly shifting into blues, rock, or ambient territory.
Designed to cut through any mix and ignite every performance, the Cicero Black isn’t just another guitar. It’s a statement. The Limited Edition Artist Series is an even greater statement on full display!
The Zaar Cicero Black is a modern electric built to thrive in any musical landscape. Its sleek all-black gloss finish, highlighted with a vivid accent color on the body top, creates a look as dynamic as the tones it delivers. Whether you’re chugging heavy riffs, bending blues lines, or exploring indie textures, the Cicero responds with clarity, power, and feel. Play with authority. Perform with confidence.
If you're looking for a timeless guitar with a modern look, outstanding feel and bold presence, look no further than the brand new Zaar Cicero Black!
Interview excerpt from
Guitar Thrills magazine with
Nashville artist Leilani Kilgore
Guitar Thrills: You've recently been performing with the Zaar Cicero guitar—what drew you to that instrument in the first place?
Leilani: I have always secretly wanted a shredder guitar, and the Cicero is PERFECT for that. It is a Dodge Challenger on steroids, with a small enough body that you can fly around on that thing with zero inhibition. It's lightweight, well balanced, and the pickups offer an astounding range of tone. It makes me feel like the little metal monster I've always hoped I could be someday.
Guitar Thrills: How has the Zaar Cicero guitar influenced your tone and playing style compared to what you were using before?
Leilani: Speed, baby!!! That guitar just begs for fast riffs and devastating drop C chugs. I want my playing to be heavier, cleaner, and scarier than ever. You just can't get that kind of sound out of a Tele or Strat.
Guitar Thrills: Are there specific qualities of the Zaar Cicero guitar—like its feel, response, or pickup character—that have changed the way you approach riffs or solos?
Leilani: I feel like the guitar gets just as excited as I do the more aggressively my playing gets. It eggs me on, like it's saying "oh yeah? What else?". You could use the guitar for just about anything, the pickups and neck are that user-friendly, but I feel like it thrives on a gain channel and fast picking. The Cicero handles articulation wonderfully. And yet, it is just as happy to let chords ring out for as long as you'd like.
