The ‘Grange’
guitar is an advanced student model that Graham has developed together with his partner
Angela.
These guitars maintain the quality features of Caldersmith guitars, whilst keeping the
non-professional player (and their budget) in mind. All tops are made from western red
cedar incorporating rosettes in the original Caldersmith style. The soundboard is
reinforced with a lattice of selected western red cedar instead of balsa/carbon fibre.
This gives a somewhat different sound from the ‘glassy’ character of some carbon
fibre guitars while retaining good projection and sustain. Necks and fingerboards have
been made from seasoned, stable Australian red cedar and African ebony. Back and sides
vary as described below.
Attention has been given to aesthetic design with a variety of woods, giving each of
these guitars a unique character.
Several top professional players have give very encouraging feedback about the Grange guitars.
Grange guitars are selling for $4,000 including either a lightweight
‘backpack’ or fibreglass case.
Please call us if you would like to arrange trial of any of these guitars.
