Gordon Smith Grande Juniper
Catalogue No: igGOR-GrandeJuniper
This is the most excited we've been about a new release guitar in ages! Gordon Smith have been quietly modernizing and improving their build processes since John retired and, following on from the brilliant Gatsby design, The Grande is their second wholly new design guitar. It's compact and lightweight and the styling treads that tenuous line between wanting to be original and not straying too far from the classics - it's elegant and very nicely conceived. We particularly like the taper of the sides to accommodate the gentle curve of the top.
The pickups are wonderfully dynamic and it sounds great clean or overdriven.
