Recreating the guitars that started it all in 1974, the Graduate Heritage is a thick body, twin humbucker, full-tone guitar with a double cutaway. It really is the ultimate expression of our luthier’s art.
Each guitar is made from a 44mm thick single piece mahogany body with a spruce tonewood cap and pommele top. A single-piece set neck featuring the unique Gordon Smith tone pocket and ebony fingerboard. The body is double bound and the pommele top looks stunning with gold hardware, including 22 carat gold plated pole pieces. The single piece neck is also bound and the headstock is finished with colour matched pommele.
Gordon Smith pioneered the coil-split humbucker in the 1970s and the design combines with our unique GS tone circuit to make these stunning guitars super flexible. Each homewound Gordon Smith humbucker is wound on the same machine as the 1974 originals.
Every Heritage guitar is hand-built by a team of highly skilled luthiers using individually selected tone woods at our workshop in the heart of England.
