We have a new, Forsyth exclusive Gordon Smith to tell you about!

The first in a series of collaborative projects between ourselves and the luthiers at Gordon Smith these guitars are a great example of how these lovely designs can be customised.

Our first edition is a play on the custom car colours used by Fender in the 50s and 60s but, since Gordon Smith are a very British brand of guitar, we felt it appropriate to look to Britain for our custom colours. In this series you will find six classic Morris Minor finishes, the lacquer supplied by official Morris sources: Clipper Blue, Racing Green, Burgundy, Highway Yellow, Sage Green and Trafalgar Blue. We've also added a custom pickguard (designed by Forsyth's very own James) in a cream plastic that perfectly matches the finish, and the elegant Gotoh bridge and chromed control knobs both help to continue the car theme.

The pickup has a great Manchester pedigree, made in Chorlton by Jaime at The Creamery and designed by Jaime and New Order / Joy Division guitarist Bernard Sumner.

We have one of each of these guitars ready to go and once those sell out we can take orders with a 12 week lead time. As these instruments have been designed by us they can only be ordered through Forsyths so if you like the look of them drop us a line!
