A few months ago I took a fancy to the idea of a Gordon Smith. I started looking at a GS1 but was suddenly distracted on their website by another model - the Graf. A slightly smaller bodied cross between a LP and a Tele, with a humbucker (splittable) and single coil. Poplar body with maple top and maple neck. This was the guitar I ended up plumping for. I went for a black finish in the end; gloss on the front, satin on the back, with some lovely body binding. There were quite a few options available but I went for the standard model.
Unboxed it earlier and it's beautifully finished and plays nicely. It also sounds HUGE! massively surprised by the quality of the sounds. It's like a Tele on steroids.
Well chuffed, it has to be said. I also like the fact that it smells like it just rolled off the production line. I would certainly encourage anybody looking at buying an electric from £400 upwards to give Gordon Smith a try - they do various models and plenty of customisation options.
