Calling all blues and jazz players...you're gonna dig this Mendocino, no question.
Barry Grzebik’s creations are always unique and captivating, each with its own character, and this gorgeous single pickup Bloodwood-topped Mendocino continues that tradition of excellence. Known for crafting super musical, beautiful, great sounding - and fun - instruments, Barry has truly outdone himself with this one.
What sets this Mendocino apart is its striking use of materials, starting with the Bloodwood top & back, pickguard, tailpiece overlay, knobs, and heal cap—an eye-catching combination we’ve never seen on a Mendocino before. Adding to its uniqueness is a single Lollar Imperial humbucker in the neck position (only). Calling all blues and jazz players...you're gonna dig this Mendocino, no question.
Beyond its gorgeous looks and impressive specs, this Mendocino is simply a joy to play. Its late-’50s Gibson-esque chunky neck carve feels substantial yet effortless, offering a slinky, responsive feel that invites hours of exploration. Thanks to its chambered construction, it’s an incredibly lightweight and resonant guitar that sounds as beautiful unplugged as it does through an amp.
