The GCS-1 is a solidly built semi-hollow guitar designed for musicians looking for a well-made, practical, and roadworthy musical instrument. Inherently versatile, it can produce a myriad of tonalities suitable for many music genres. It is adorned with a laminated flame maple top and a laminated sapele back, and the sides/internal block structure are routed from a solid wood core. This design yields a clear, balanced, and even articulation with enhanced sustain characteristics. The addition of a US made Bigsby vibrato offers possibilities for an almost unlimited range of playing styles. Comes with a TKL hard-shell case.
