Don Grosh Retro Classic

This was my primary guitar, and is still the most high-end of all my guitars. I bought it used at Resurrection Guitars in Austin Texas, and the playability, articulate tone, and solid feel make it one of my favorites.

Specs

• Brand/Model: Don Grosh Retro Classic
• Body: Swamp Ash
• Finish: Sunburst
• Fretboard: Brazilian Rosewood
• Pickups: Lindy Fralin Blues Specials

Benefits

• Very lightweight

Trade-offs
