Gordon Smith Griffin Flip SuperLite 2024 - Austin Blue Metallic

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 is the Griffin model – Gordon Smith’s take on the classic Firebird style guitar, this example in flip configuration (no-flip is also available). This fabulous looking guitar has a lightweight  obeche body and mahogany neck finished in flawless  Austin Blue Metallic. The guitar weighs just 6lb 9oz. Tone is delivered from a pair of biting homewound P90s with nickel covers. Comes with a GS gigbag.
