- We talk to Doug Sparks, a legend in his own lunchtime, and the driving force behind the new era Gordon Smith brand. He visited Gordon Smith stockists Badlands Guitars in Brighton and spoke with Graham Cook about the history, the present day set up and more.
Fantastic.
Love the vibe of this company. New to me
I have seen the Gatsby now...got to have one! Hearing this video has sealed it!
They are amazing, get it touch and we will order one for you.
Spoke to Doug on the phone, now i can put a face to the voice. I'm putting an order in December for a classic t and am buzzing for it, there guitars look stunning!!
I've had a Gypsy 1 since '79, about time I got a new one.
I used to play in a band with a young man that worked there in the early 90s. John was a one off..even let me use the workshop to de fret a bass guitar.
This is brilliant, thanks Graham! 👍
I never thought at my age,58. I'd pay more for a guitar than I would for a USA brand Fender. Don't know why I did that, but I know I did. Not got it yet, a few more weeks to wait.
The way we see it is you can either buy a USA production line guitar with average quality control for a very similar price, or a custom made, hand built guitar, from the UK entirely to your own specification. If you asked Fender USA to make you this guitar, as a one off, to your spec, I think it might just end up a few thousand pounds more. The guys at GS are diamonds and make stunning instruments, you will be a very happy bunny! Enjoy it.
Wonderful guitars
Yes!!!
Love my left handed GS Deluxe! Fantastic guitar! Great service and help when I ordered it.
SO glad you like it, they are such amazing instruments..so whats the next one going to be!?
@@BadlandsGuitars They posted photos of a 12 string GS Deluxe on their FB recently and that gave me the idea of having a matching 12 string made to go with my 6 string.
@@patrickduguay8 that’s funny they are currently building a 12 String Graduate for another of our customers.
I love my GS... time to get another, methinks!
Great interview :)
Thank you, Doug is such a positive guy I can see good times ahead for GS and his other ventures!
Just dealing with Doug great guys to deal with mine is now heading to Tasmania
I have one of the first year model serial no 69 signed by Vinnie - indeed it is 44mm thick apparently Honduras mahogany one piece body, and of course double cut away. Dual truss rod !
Unfortunately the previous owner fitted EMG81's and routed it for Kahler which I have removed (and sold for a tidy sum) and used a schaller bridge with fine tuners to hide the filled cavity, it has schaller tuners from new. It has been refretted, while the frets are level the person fitting the frets has filed away some off the side dot markers - because he did not have the correct tool
Oh, that's the guy who took my order the other day. :) Can my Classic T be my 3rd guitar ever that can play open chords without needing to be sent back for nut and fret work? I hope so. please. lol
Auden Guitars i believe they are called.
Not too sure about the single piece body. I have a Gordon Smith Heritage Deluxe made in 2018 which is definitely a two piece body. Nice guitar though.
