Gordon Smith Classic T One

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 amazing guitar is a premium spec single pickup version of the Gordon Smith Classic T – we call it the Classic T One. The single pickup on this guitar is full blooded Seymour Duncan HotRails humbuckers providing the basis for super punchy clean tones and screaming overdrive. We’ve gone for the Eldred Mod wiring for the front pickups selector position which delivers a fabulous “cocked-wah” honk. It’s a brute of a guitar in very stylish clothes, with faded Pelham nitro finish and cream ivoroid double binding. Vintage vibes come from the Gotoh Vintage tuners and 3 saddle ashtray bridge. We’ve routed the super light cedar body for a neck pickup to allow for easy later conversion a standard T spec if desired.  Comes with a Gordon Smith moulded hardcase.
