Gordon Smith Classic S 2024 - Bude Cream

Gordon Smith Guitars are handbuilt by a team of highly skilled luthiers at a workshop in Northamptonshire. Each guitar is crafted from the finest tone wood, and is meticulously finished to create a level of quality many of the bigger manufacturers could only dream of. The fabulous build quality is complemented by the best quality hardware and Gordon Smith’s own hand wound pickups resulting in instruments with superb playability and beautiful tone.

This Classic S is Gordon Smith’s take on an iconic design with this version boasting a premium specification and weighing only 7lbs.  This spectacular guitar has a premium feel with its swamp ash body with a cool Bude Cream paint job, 3-ply white/black/white pickguard, and roasted flamed maple slim profile maple neck and fretboard with vintage feel 9.5″ radius.
