The Gordon Smith Classic S takes the most familiar double-cutaway outline in electric guitar and builds it around a lightweight Obeche body, a maple neck carved to Gordon Smith's Classic thin profile and a maple fingerboard with a 9.5-inch radius, so it sits comfortably for long sets and bends easily all the way up the neck. Three single-coil pickups deliver the bright, articulate and glassy tones the shape is known for, and a Wilkinson tremolo handles everything from subtle shimmer to deeper dips while returning reliably to pitch. The 25.5-inch scale gives it the string tension and note separation that suit clean and driven playing alike, and chrome hardware sets off a gloss Roker Red body, a solid, saturated red with no burst or shading to break it up.
