Peter Grubb is a wonderfully talented Australian luthier, building refined and thoughtful instruments by hand in his Alphington, Victoria workshop. Designed to be responsive, dynamic instruments, PG Guitars blend traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail with luxurious appointments, incredible timbers and impeccable playability. We're very excited to be stocking Peter's guitars, and this wonderful SJ (Small Jumbo) model is a wonderful showcase for his impressive skills.
Featuring a flawless, tightly-grained Master Grade Sitka Spruce top paired with gorgeously incredibly flamed Master Grade Tasmanian Blackwood, this SJ is a stunningly appointed and wonderfully versatile guitar. It's got enough headroom for loud strumming, but it's responsive and dynamic enough for the gentlest of fingerpicking. The tone is rich and luxurious, with beautiful harmonics, a firm but not overwhelming low end and a sweet, blanced voice that makes it hard to put down!
The neck is African mahogany, with ebony fretboard, bridge binding and bridge pins, a gorgeous Birdseye Maple headplate and rosette, compensated bone nut and saddle, and Madagascar Rosewood binding. The neck position markers and bridge pins are inlaid with brass, a minor but beautiful detail. Playability is superb - the SJ features a 14-fret neck and the fretboard has a compound radius of 12" - 20" to allow easy chording while accommodating more adventurous playing in the higher registers.
This wonderful guitar is handmade and completely one-of-a-kind, built by a talented luthier right here in our backyard. Includes Hiscox hardshell flight case.
