Details
Steve Grimes is a triple threat luthier who is equally renowned for building world-class ukuleles, flattop guitars and archtops like this Montreux.This guitar was built in Steve’s workshop in Kula, Hawaii and it is in excellent structural and cosmetic condition. It has a hand-carved, tap-tuned X-braced top, which produces a well-balanced tone that responds equally well to a hard-driving flatpick attack as well as a more nuanced fingerstyle approach. This is a lovely guitar with nicely figured maple in the back, sides and neck and simple, but elegant pearl and abalone block fretboard inlays. Includes the original hardshell case, which is in equally clan condition.
