Read about our visit to Gordon Smith in Higham Ferrers here
An icon of the Punk era and a mainstay of British guitar making, Gordon Smith guitars were the brainchild of Manchester guitar makers John Smith and Gordon Whittam and for over 30 years were built down the road from Forsyths in Partington. In 2015 John announced his intention to hang up his tools and head for sunnier climates, and the company was aquired by Auden Guitars. John spent his final year with the company sharing secrets and transitioning the build process and a new chapter has now begun with the instruments built in Northhampton.
Forsyths were long standing customers of John's and have seen a few hundred Gordon Smiths pass through our hands over the many years we have stocked them, so we have been keeping a close eye on the change over and are delighted to report that the first guitars coming out of the new workshop are absolutely fantastic, capturing the spirit and identity of the originals and mantaining a very high level of build quality.
We try to always have examples of the popular models of Gordon Smith in stock and ready to buy, but if you are thinking of ordering a slightly more unusual Gordon Smith please do not hesitate to drop us a line - there's nothing we like more than getting stuck into a custom build project!

£ 1,634.00Gordon Smith Classic S Shell Pink AAA...
More guitars should be pink. We've recently had a few Gordon Smiths drop with us, and the AAA flame maple neck and fingerboard combo is probably one of our favourite options when it comes to this fantastic brand. It's just a really nice stratocaster, according to my boss. Me too, actually.

£ 1,484.00Gordon Smith Classic T Korina w/ Roasted...
This super sexy thinline from Gordon Smith features a Korina body, a roasted maple neck, 2 GSG single coil pickups and a whole lot of tone. Gordon Smith's are famous for their brass nuts, and the resonance really rings through with this guy. Comes with a gig bag.
£ 1,484.00
£ 1,799.00Gordon Smith Classic T Semi Solid Swamp Ash
The thing about Gordon Smith is that we can ask for whatever we want in the shop, and pretty much of the time they can do it for us. In this case we've got a semi-solid tele style guitar in swamp ash, with a AAA flamed maple neck and fingerboard, a lovely pomelle veneer and a bind on the top of the body. The result: a very lively tele which plays...
£ 1,799.00
£ 1,334.00Gordon Smith Classic T Sonic Blue
That neck, eh? What a stunner. Plays just as good as a real quality American Tele and looks so damn cool. With AAA flame maple neck and fingerboard to make it really stand out, and with the Gordon Smith single coil pickups, you're really onto a winner.
£ 1,334.00
£ 1,514.00Gordon Smith Classic T Tobacco Burst Swamp...
This thing looks unique! The neck is such a cool looking thing, with that very light look with flamed maple. The GSG single coil pickups sound great as ever, and the swamp ash is a great choice of wood, in this case with a cool tobacco burst finish. It plays very nicely, and has a crisp clean tone. Comes with a hard case.
£ 1,514.00
£ 1,629.00Gordon Smith Gatsby Custom Silver Burst...

It's beautifully balanced, sounds like a rocket and comes with a very fancy case.
£ 2,279.00
£ 1,239.00Gordon Smith GS2 Nene Blue
It's really hard to argue with a GS2. This guy in particular features 2 GSG P90 pickups, cream hardware and a cream pickguard. Of course, the proof is in the pudding, and in this case the pudding is a guitar - and what a fantastic sound this guitar has. With a wonderfully wide spectrum, you get pulsating lows with some excellent mids and the occasional...
