The Story

Montana Roy Smeck Radio Grande Acoustic Guitar

This is a model that many of us haven’t been able to play before! The Roy Smeck Radio Grande, first issued in the mid 1930’s and only reissued once for the Gibson centennial in 1994, here it is in its glory again. This time with a thermally aged Adirondack red spruce top for a sound that should rival the played-in tone of vintage acoustic guitars. This guitar is limited to only 30 instruments worldwide!

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork
