A seamless combination of traditional and totally unique design elements, the Mendocino is familiar while retaining and sound and feel all its own. This particular serial features a Sinker Redwood top giving the guitar extra responsiveness and headroom, making an articulation rarely obtained.
The Grez Mendocino is a compact (13.25"), light weight (5lbs) semi-hollobody guitar with the voice of a full size semi-hollowbody. Its strong voice is imparted by the nature of it's internal structure and a high quality, acoustic guitar grade, Old Growth Redwood top.
Rooted in the tradition of California’s guitar builders from a past generation, Grez Guitars builds R.C. Allen-designed archtops and unique semi-hollowbodies loosely influenced by P.A. Bigsby’s construction techniques as well as steel string flat top acoustics, solid body guitars and basses. Each handcrafted guitar is a singular creation, combining a unique style and approach to voicing with each musician’s personal touches.
Although I take on entirely custom commissions, most of my builds are highly customized versions of my standard models. Every aspect of the guitar is discussed and built to your specifications from string spacing and wood choices to pickups and custom headstock inlays, making every guitar a one-of-a-kind.
I work with many wood species, but have a passion for Salvaged Old Growth Redwood. I'm always on the hunt for a few really good boards and depending on what I find, I resaw them into tops for acoustic guitars or semi-hollowbodies or leave them whole and make 1pc solid bodies.
