Griggs G-18
On offering we have a rare and elusive G-18 guitar from Jamie Griggs & Josh Haddix. if you are a sucker for great sound and figured mahogany that will knock your eyes out and socks off, you will surely be ecstatic with this G-18. Additionally, fans of The Steep Canyon Rangers and Woody Platt, may recognize this guitar, as Woody performed with it extensively until receiving a deal from C.F Martin Guitar Co. if that doesn’t speak to the quality of sound, we don’t know what will. Perhaps Beltone?
Specs include: constructed in 2012, highly figured mahogany back and sides, Adirondack spruce top, mahogany neck which is full in the hand and vintage inspired, with a medium V profile, 1 3/4 nut width, truss rod & carbon reinforcement in the neck, 2 5/16 string spacing at the saddle, Ebony Bridge and fingerboard, (37 inspired) forward shifted and scalloped X bracing, nitro lacquer finish, K&K pickup installed, a pickguard that is so beautiful that we find it necessary to draw your attention to it, Grover open back tuners, and a Harptone hard shell case.
Well, it sounds great! How is that for earth shaking Revelation? The bass is rumbling and true, as you can hear in the video. This one excels where many mahogany instruments can fall short, in the area of drop D tuning. Not the case with this Jamie Griggs, it practically Bellows at you. additionally, the mid range is very strong, and will remind you of some of the better vintage D-18s that you have heard. The treble is sweet, but also very powerful, and overall the instrument has a very balanced sound and displays a strong kinship with a microphone. If you do very much work in the studio, you will truly appreciate the Acoustic properties coming out of this here box. additionally, you have the K&K on board for when you want to crank up in your favorite venue, or just to give your neighbors an audible middle finger. you don’t see these come up very often, so don’t miss out on this one.
Please pay attention to the photographs, as this is not a closet queen; it has been professionally owned, performed with, and has traveled many miles. Some can appreciate the openness and beauty of mahogany which has not been fully grain filled, while others prefer a mirror type finish. Some folks go for sound, some go for a perfect look. This has the sound, and is meant for a player, not a polisher. it plays absolutely wonderful, and there are no structural issues, but cosmetically where we see beauty,, durability and a real musical instrument, some see imperfections, as they like to look more than play.
