An outstanding guitar for anyone that's into modern-leaning takes on classic designs.

Based on the custom "Linhof" spec we've worked with Don Grosh to refine over the past several years (more on that in a moment), this standout build features a few unique touches - a one-piece roasted maple neck with mother-of-pearl dots, a one-piece ash body, and a reversed control plate layout. The results are visually striking and sonically impressive.

While all Grosh guitars feel alive in hand, this one takes it to another level thanks to the resonance of its roasted single-piece neck and body. Effortless playability, warm and articulate Tele-style tones (no icepick highs here), and Don's signature build quality make this an exceptional instrument across the board.

______________________________

Quick backstory: Kurt Linhof designed this style of Tele and J.W. Black (Fender Custom Shop) built them until Kurt passed away in 2014 (we've heard around 150 or so were made). Key attributes are the flipped bridge pickup, Strat body contours, and a mini-humbucker in the neck position.

Many theories exist about that flipped bridge pickup concept. One is that it originated with Hendrix's Strat (righty-played-lefty does the same to the bridge pickup orientation). Perhaps that was part of the reasons his guitar sounded so good (aside from him, of course).

Makes sense, right? The pickup is further away from the bridge on the treble strings, lessening the potential for icepick-in-the-ear Tele bridge tones, and the bass strings are closer to the bridge, upping the clarity and snap. In practice? That's exactly what happens on this Grosh T. Still sounds like a Tele, just sweeter and fuller.
