Sold: The Grecian 201 One

Moody, arty shot that is utterly pointless
Taking its lead from a time-stained sculpture, The Grecian 201 One has an aged and corroded Bronze finish. A variety of chemicals have been used to create a genuinely patinated and cracked surface, which is truly stunning. The scratchplate has been coated with a rough finish copper that itself will age over time.

In terms of the sounds, The Grecian 201 One has a pair of Kent Armstrong Hot Lipstick pickups, which not only jangle, but give a beautiful SRV-soaked bluesy tone. At the bridge is a GFS ‘Hot Liverpool’ Retrotron, which can be coil-tapped using a mini toggle switch.

A left handed neck complete the picture and the guitar just sounds awesome.

This is the first guitar to feature one of our “Pam’s Baywatch Bronze” finishes.

To be clear, The Grecian 201 One is an utterly unique guitar, and there will never, ever, be another made. It is signed and numbered, entirely hand built and finished cooler than a slo-mo run across the pebbled beach at Clevedon. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.




To treat yourself very well and buy The Grecian 201 One, along with a tweedy hardcase, delivered to your day (in the UK at least) for a quite stupid £399, simply click on the big yellow button before somebody else does. And they will, they always do...

If only I had the money - The Grecian 201 One looks amazing - love the reverse headstock - just like on a Rangemaster;) I bet it sounds great too. I also fancy the Tripadelic One being a very close relative to The Peace Train One.

Sadly we've bought a new tv - Hd 3d etc - did I say sadly - no it's great - me and the wife watch stuff we'd never have dreamt of watching and go ooh isn't the picture great. Anyway the coffers are running low. But those pictures do look tempting...
