A bit of history about some of our "Holy Grail" single cut models and others: A Honduran mahogany body made from a single, carefully selected piece, paired with a 4A grade flamed maple top with a saw-cut finish makes this composition one of the most beautiful and incredible. Its machining is precise, configured using a 3D scanning system.
It’s interesting to see details like how the royalty binding follows the correct carving profile, revealing part of the flamed maple top. It’s an additional detail, but we believe you will appreciate it as much as we do!
Nothing goes unnoticed; the details of the electronics, carefully selected and worked with cleanliness and professionalism, ensure that the entire setup works to make the most of all its tonal ranges.
We can observe the beautiful slab of Swietenia macrophylla (Honduran mahogany) made from a single piece and its precious finish in nitrocellulose lacquer, with no aniline or dye applied to the wood. This results in a proper and authentic vintage finish, just like in the 1950s.
For these models, we use the best hardware closest to vintage that we could find in all our tests, such as the Faber unplated 59-style tailpiece replica, steel anchors, and nickel-plated steel screws for the stop tail. We also requested the construction of brass bridge saddles and posts with a nickel coating, long before anyone else knew about all this, more than 18 years ago!
Some Holy Grail GVT models were equipped with our PAF NOS wire and butyrate rings, but well, this is part of the history. This space is just to remember those instruments that many customers will enjoy...
Regarding orders...
We will only accept guitar orders under certain circumstances and with a lead time of over 16 months. We apologize, but these instruments cannot be built in 3 or 4 months; it's simply impossible. They require a high level of attention to detail and craftsmanship. We have already built many of these guitars, and we believe we have established that legacy. Over the past 10 years, more than 250 guitars have been played by professional musicians, artists, and guitar enthusiasts.
Therefore, we will build them when we can, and when we are inspired.
