That looks really nice and I’ve had a very good experience with GS recently

Looks really nice.

Does it have a name? Nothing on the GS website as yet.

There's a contest to name it happening on social media - winner gets their mini amp.

I like that

...okay...I'm heading to Friendface then...

Crikey!  It's moving quite a long way from the standard GS designs, but it looks good.  Can't tell if it's a bolt-on or a set neck.

Nice, exactly what a newly invigorated GS guitars should be doing.

Now they just need to sort out that dated af logo...

Very cool

Would like to see specs and price etc.

Their strat style is from £999, tele from £899 so I guess this is going to be in that ball park plus options. If the base model is a lot more than that I don't think I'd understand why.

Very Fano/Rivolta. I reckon they’ll do well with it.

Can't think where the inspiration comes from, but I'm a big Fano that design nevertheless.

EricTheWeary

Right, I've posted my suggestion. Just clearing a space on a shelf for that mini amp.

What, upholding their 45 year old tradition of copying and tweaking someone else's designs?

But then I suppose there's a reason why the Graf, Griffin & Galaxy sold in even fewer numbers than their Les Paul inspired models.

That headstock logo area is great! Interested to know what bridge they are using etc.

Cool design.

That's one thing I have noticed, their prices are creeping up... which is fine if the guitars justify the price, but I do like the idea of a (relatively) cheap-and-cheerful British brand.  That's what made them unique.

Does it come with authentically wobbly bridge?

meltedbuzzbox

I'm surprised... I actually like that. As long as it isn't mustang small

Looks like a Mustang bridge but I'm not 100%.
