Gordon Smith

Gordon Smith Guitars have been making amazing no-nonsense instruments since 1974, all built in the UK. Their philosophy has stayed the same, to provide hand-crafted custom order guitars for amazing prices. As they say, they make “guitars, not furniture…”

As the longest running electric guitar manufacturer in the UK, they have offered high-quality instruments to a range of notable guitarists over the years, from Mick Abrahams (Jethro Tull), John Squire (The Stone Roses) and James Dean Bradfield (Manic Street Preachers).

The GS Model:

The GS model has remained their flagship guitar for many years, and here at Andertons we have a handful of these available with different specs and pickup configurations. Our models currently in stock are all sub-£800, so you can afford a genuine hand-built British made guitar for an incredible price!

All of our GS models come with a free Gordon Smith gig bag, so you can get out and gig with them straight away! The GS guitars have a set-neck construction as standard, meaning you get a warm, resonant-sounding instrument with a solid and robust feel. Our models in stock also feature super playable thin necks with wide frets, as well as vintage-style wrap-over bar bridges that provide you with the purest possible tone.

The great thing with Gordon Smith guitars is that with their custom order process, you can personally select your own specs so that you get the guitar you’ve always wanted. Choose your ideal tonewoods, colour, neck profile, pickups and hardware to get a unique guitar that fits you.

GS Guitars

GS1 – The most basic guitar in their range, the GS1 is a junior-inspired guitar that features a single bridge pickup. Our models currently in stock have been fitted with either a GSG Humbucker or P90, both delivering a powerful, punchy tone that can cut through any mix – perfect for punk, classic and modern rock.

GS1.5 – This model has an added single coil in the neck, giving you a more versatile range of tones. You can use this pickup for some beautiful glassy clean sounds, or combine it with the humbucker for a fuller, more balanced tone.

GS2 – The GS2 has a dual humbucker configuration with LP-style electronics (x2 Volume and x2 Tone controls). The neck humbucker can produce a darker and warmer tone, great for creamy leads or if you play jazz and less-raucous styles.
