This is truly a rare and beautiful piece—it’s sobeautiful and sounds like a dream. These specific guitars aren't made with much regularity these days with all the different models he makes and a wait for a Grimes guitar (if you can get an order in) is over a year.
Steve Grimes is one of the best Luthiers on the planet, hands down. And this very special 2008 Custom Keola Beamer double hole acoustic steel string guitar could very well be one of the best guitars he ever made. The premium old-growth koa curl is INSANE. Such a joy to just HOLD this guitar, let alone PLAY it.
The intonation is perfect and the select wood used is breathtaking—tonally and visually. The koa is absolutely spectacular and is AAAA old growth and very tight. Select European Adirondack Red Spruce top. The nut is a comfortable 43mm and the action is smooth, low and the resonance is like no other.
The guitar looks brand new and it's been lovingly taken care of by a veteran music industry legend/celebrity. It comes with a gorgeous mint/new condition custom-fitted new condition Ivy League White CALTON HARD CASE with plush wilderness green English crushed velvet and special headstock rest in the case. The case alone is stunning, let alone the guitar inside of it.You won't find another acoustic that sounds and looks this good (and we've heard/seen a TON of the best).
We just had a question about the bouts... Upper Bout: 11 5/16" Lower Bout: 15 1/4"
A portion of proceeds from the sale of this guitar will go into an arts education trust that funds programs around the country.
