Gordon Smith Geist Launch Edition Carbon

The Geist is a deliberate throwback to the 1980s rock guitar, and at under 7lbs it is light enough to wear for a full set without complaint. A solid flame maple cap sits over the body, with a roasted flame maple neck and fingerboard cut to a slimmer 24-fret profile aimed squarely at players who spend time at the top of the neck. This Launch Edition is finished in Carbon. Left-handed orders carry a 12-week build time. Gordon Smith have been building electric guitars in England since 1974, when Gordon Whitham and John Smith started the company; the brand now sits within the Auden Musical Instrument Company, whose team has taken production on with fresh investment in tooling and people.
