Grez Mendocino
Featuring an ultra-playable neck and Lollar Gold Foil pickups that brilliantly communicate dynamics and a full-spectrum tone rainbow, the light-as-a-feather chambered redwood Mendocino knocked us out with both its earthy sensitivity and top-flight construction. Six-string simplicity has rarely sounded so completely exquisite.
