Gordon Smith Classic T Graffiti Yellow 2022

Description

Gordon Smith Guitars are handbuilt by a team of highly skilled luthiers at a workshop in Northamptonshire. Each guitar is crafted from the finest tone wood, and is meticulously finished to create a level of quality many of the bigger manufacturers could only dream of. The fabulous build quality is complemented by the best quality hardware and Gordon Smith’s own hand wound pickups resulting in instruments with superb playability and beautiful tone.

This Classic T is Gordon Smith’s take on an iconic design – hand built with outstanding quality. This spectacular guitar has a premium feel with its swamp ash body with striking glossy Graffiti Yellow paint job, 3-ply white/black/white pickguard, and vintage tinted slim profile maple neck and rosewood fretboard.  The pickups are the new Gordon Smith “Higham Honk” single coils – this is the very first guitar out of the workshop to carry these pickups – traditional T style pickups, warm but clear in the neck, all the punch you would expect in the bridge with added depth. They’re made with 43 gauge enamelled copper wire, scatter wound by hand onto traditional fibre bobbins, wax potted with an additional cotton dress in the bridge.
