This is the first time I have use Granadilla wood and I found I really like it. It is similar to rosewood and cocobolo but not a real rosewood.
The “offset” soundhole rosette was another first
And I had to practise the arm bevel again!
Altogether a very nice small acoustic with pickup and extra light strings

Really lovely Gretsch type guitar, It is a set neck although from the back it looks like a neck through body. Ebony headfacing, pickguard and arm rest. It was featured in Guitarist mag March 2012 and on the front of their 2013 calendar, There is also a sound clip of it being demonstrated by I think Mick Taylor of Guitarist somewhere on Youtube.

I really love the “vibe” of the guitar. I’ve been playing about with grills in a couple of my resonator guitars and here it really does work for me.
It is the only guitar here that comes with a Hiscox case!!
Featured in issue 450 of Guitarist magazine

This one is known as ‘Ivor’ because tuner knobs, control knobs, bindings and fret markers are all grained ivoroid!
It is a rare guitar for me in that it has 24 frets but the design, with two pickups, dictated it.

The neck is more Gibby than Fender and the “aged” nitro finish is crazed but no deliberated ‘dings” nor “dents” or false wear to the body nor neck.
