Product information

The Mendocino DCAF is really lightweight, balanced, and very alive and resonant. Simply put, this is the kind of instrument that makes you want to play more.

California-based builder Barry Grzebik brings serious audio cred to the bench. Before founding Grez Guitars, he led engineering at Apogee Sound, designing everything from pro-grade amps to acclaimed loudspeakers. His deep knowledge of tone, resonance, and materials is matched by a commitment to sustainability - each guitar sold supports reforestation through the Redwood Forest Foundation.

The Mendocino DCAF (DC = double cut, Anderson = guitarist Kid Anderson, F = f-hole) is the result of Barry’s quest to build a lighter, more resonant alternative to an ES-335, something with the punch of a semi-hollow and the warmth of an archtop. This version is just a touch larger than the standard Mendocino, with a body width of 14".

Built with a hollowed 1-piece Honduran mahogany body and topped with reclaimed old-growth Redwood (500–700 years old), it’s as rich in tone as it is in story.

Light, balanced, and ultra-resonant, this build features a slightly chunky, late-‘50s-style carve and Lollar Gold Foils that offer chime, clarity, and plenty of lofi growl when pushing your amp into overdrive. Clean tones sparkle; with gain, it dives into gloriously swampy lo-fi territory.

Simply put? These are incredibly fun, musical guitars that make you want to play more. And that's the entire point, no?
