Gordon Smith Classic T Super-Lite Shell Pink

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 50s design with this version being part of the Super-Lite Series which uses specially selected timbers to create a beautifully light instrument weighing in at less than 6lb. This spectacular guitar has a premium feel with its paulownia body with a cool Shell Pink paint job, 3-ply white/black/white pickguard, and roasted famed maple slim profile maple neck and fretboard. Top grade Gotoh hardware is used throughout. The pickups are Gordon Smith’s very own handwound Higham Honk single coils, wound specially to match this tone wood, giving all the beautiful vintage flavoured tones you’d want from a guitar of this type.
