What We Think

Condition: Used, Very Good. This guitar does not have its pickguard attached, and in particular is missing the pickguard screws, but does come with the pickguard itself as well as the bracket for it.

SP Luthier Notes: (A) Minor dent(s) present on the guitar required our luthier to fill, color match, and refinish the area. These were done around the area of the nut on the guitar, to fix finish cracks (NOTE: finish cracks ONLY; the wood was left undamaged). All of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. No further work was required.

Experience the magic of a meticulously crafted Comins GCS-1! This guitar, more than just a musical instrument, is a true player's piece, thoughtfully designed for performance and playability. Its comfortably contoured medium C neck and resonant Eastern Mahogany body feel fantastic in your hands, while the beautiful laminated flame Maple top provides a stunning visual punch. A unique specimen, our skilled luthier has polished, leveled, and crowned every fret, ensuring an absolutely flawless feel. Paired with custom-wound Kent Armstrong humbuckers with coil-splitting capabilities, this instrument offers a stunning sonic palette ready for any stage or studio. This is a guitar you can trust to deliver, a true investment in tone and feel!
