GUEST,Keith Sellers Grimshaw Guitars (58* d) RE: Grimshaw Guitars 13 Feb 07


Grimshaw made some very interesting,cool looking guitars,his big jazzers had an English european look,not at all American,his mid fifties SS models were a cheeky rip off of the great American guitars of that period,it had a Gibson 335ish thin body,Gretch white falcon headstock,and cats eye f holes and knobs all over,it looked absolutly pure rock n roll,English rock n roll,in my opinion he lost the kudos when he started to try to copy Les Pauls that were expensive,and rubbish compared to the original American Gisons, he also tried to copy Fenders, poor copy Telecasters,his accoustics were heavy and uninspiring,i think if he would have consentrated on the SS and developed that model,and had a few serious names that played and indorced it, he may have established himself as a serious English guitar maker as of the likes of Tony Zematis,John Bailey,etc.etc.Keith Sellers................
