Grady's Base/New in the Works

I've started the New GB Bass.....Design complemented with a 32"scale length & 1.60" nut width. Choice of body wood Primary/Walnut and overlay of figured Myrtle wood (incredible beauty) and also has an acoustical chamber. Neck material, a 5-piece lay-up of Walnut & Myrtle wood and reinforced with carbon fiber. A glued in-place Rosewood Bridge (strung thru-body) with an under saddle transducer (PUTW pickups) and a Nordstrand NP-4 P-Base type magnetic pickup (from Steamco Music). Will be using an Electronic preamp buffer from PUTW pickups specific to this configuration........greg "a chilly monday"

Some very kind words from a world-class musician.....

"In my travels I often get the chance to sample the wares of

luthiers all over the world. Every once in awhile a guitar stands out in my memory for its exceptional tone and response.

Greg Pacetti's is one of these. I didn't want to stop playing it, as the rich, even tone and impeccable intonation was inspirational, just what a player wants from a top-quality instrument."

One of our most exceptional guitarist

___What-I-Do___

The musical instruments that are primary to my shop..

Guitars ; North Rim my own design a somewhat large steel string but bigger than the Martin OOO

Classic-O ; Very similar to the Martin OOO (you could say my interpretation of the OOO)

Reso ; A Square neck Lapstyle slide with Cone Resonator

Chena Uke PS; Tenor Ukulele 17 1/2"scale, thru bridge string mount & Oval sound hole.

G Bass ; An occasional Solid Body Bass (Grady's Bass)

Most Instruments have an Asymetrically shaped bridge .

By choice most my work is with the Acoustic guitar and the Ukulele. I try to always use Fossilized Mammoth & Walrus

Ivory and Sitka Spruce, its the Alaska thing.....
