The Gordon Smith Classic S is the English maker's take on the most familiar shape in electric guitar, hand-built in Rushden. A lightweight obeche body with a full heel carve is finished in semi-gloss nitro Hove Pink, and a roasted flame maple neck in Gordon Smith's thin profile carries a rosewood fretboard with nickel frets. One GS Homewound humbucker and two GS Homewound single coils, wired with CTS and Switchcraft components, cover everything from glassy cleans to thick, driven leads, while the Classic S tremolo bridge and 18:1 locking tuners keep tuning steady. Nickel hardware and a parchment-black-parchment scratchplate complete the look.
