SP Luthier Notes: Preformed Complete Setup
The GCS-1 is a solidly built semi-hollow guitar designed for musicians looking for a well-made, practical, and roadworthy 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. Included is a TKL hard-shell case.
One of the finest archtop builders in the world, Bill Comins produces instruments of unsurpassed quality. His attention to every detail is immediately evident when you pick up and play one of his guitars. Bill brings the complete package: tone, looks, playability, and craftsmanship. While his instruments pay homage to traditional designs, they also have that unique “Comins” character… warm, fat, and mellow with tone for days. Recently, he has taken his art and expertise to the world of solid-body electric guitars, and been creating some new gems in that arena that are simply to die for. His works are masterpiece collectibles designed to stand up to the test of time.
