Here's a gorgeous new custom Grez Mendocino. This particular guitar has lots of details and upgrades that accentuate the Mendocino's simple yet classy and timeless design. The Cherry Burst finish over the Old Growth Redwood Quilt-Figured top, is extremely beautiful and makes the figure of the wood just pop. The body is bound in Tortoise and white, black white, purfling. The back has the same binding and purfling, but it makes a bolder statement against the plainer looking Mahogany.
The Mendocino typically comes standard with either Lollar Gold-Foils or Imperial Humbuckers. However this Custom Mendocino has Curtis Novak Gold Foils installed. While they maintain the open, airy and balanced tone of the Lollar Gold Foils, they have a more focused, articulate clean tone and some extra bite and output when overdriven or pushing a tube amp. Novak is known for winding extremely authentic sounding and looking vintage-spec Gold Foil reproduction pickups; so these fit the bill perfectly and look beautiful at the same time.
Other upgraded specs include MOP fingerboard dot inlays and Jumbo Nickel Silver fret wire.
