Product information

Built with TK Smith pickups and a Bigsby tailpiece, the Folsom is Barry Grzebik's vision of an early-electric guitar, played-in feel and all.

It's been a minute since we last had a Grez Folsom in the shop - and honestly, we're all wondering why. We tend to focus our orders on Barry Grzebik's award-winning Mendocino models, but getting reacquainted with the Folsom has been like reconnecting with an old friend.

The Folsom is such a cool guitar in so many ways, and it's a beautifully executed nod to the early days of the electric guitar, with Paul Bigsby-inspired details that feel both vintage and fresh. If you only know Bigsby for his iconic tremolos, do yourself a favor and check out his original guitar designs - you'll see exactly why we love the Folsom so much.

That said, the Folsom isn't a copy or tribute guitar. The hallmarks of Barry's work make it clear this is his vision of what this style of guitar can be.

Those hallmarks always come back to musicality - Grez guitars are just plain fun to play and always sound great. Everything works as it should, effortlessly, and you can feel Barry's emphasis on how a player interacts with the instrument. In those ways (and more), Barry's guitars never disappoint.

This particular Folsom is built around a set of TK Smith pickups and finished with a Bigsby tailpiece - a combination that pulls the guitar even further into the territory Barry's nodding to in the first place. TK's pickups have a clarity and a slightly hi-fi top end that pair beautifully with the Folsom's resonance, and the Bigsby adds the kind of expressive movement these guitars were originally designed around. It's a guitar that bridges eras without feeling anchored to any of them - an old soul with a fresh voice = and we couldn't be happier to have it back on our wall.
