New Greg German Agave Ziricote/Adirondack (Red)
Caramel-sweet and firecracker hot, this brand-new 2015 German Agave has got a voice to strike other guitars dumb. Greg German‘s too kind: he’s given us an enormous amount of tone, and some sweet appointments, for a great deal. Complete with a soundport, gold Gotoh 510s, interlocking fretboard inlays and rosette, Venetian Cutaway, the Agave has more options than you can shake a pick at. That said, wait until you actually have the instrument in your hands–the setup is glass-smooth, and the voice is charged and energetic. Trebles which are bright and talkative, a middle register with lots of power that speaks for itself, and a tight, controlled low-end give the Agave a punchy flavor more commonly found in smaller-bodied guitars–but with all the volume and sustain traditionally found in Grand Concerts or Dreadnoughts.

Greg German is making exquisite guitars. This Agave model is proof. The level of detail and beauty is off the charts, yet they remain sublime. The purflings and inlays are all elegant and truly add to the aesthetic of the instrument. But it’s the tonal character we love, clarity and beauty are in every note on the fingerboard. The Bolivian Rosewood(aka Pau Ferro) and Figured Sitka top blend perfectly to produce pure music. The playability is superb and accurate. This is a player’s instrument that is also a gentleman’s guitar.

Greg German has a background as a highly skilled Illustrator, Animator and luthier with Edward Victor Dick. This experience allows him to create and execute details that most Luthiers wouldn’t dare to attempt. This Belladonna, multiscale, steel string is breathtaking in subtle ways. There are extensive inlays on the headstock, fingerboard, soundport and rosette, but all are fine and wooden for an elegant effect. The wild Bolivian Rosewood back and Silky Sitka top give this asymmetrical multiscale a bright, clear tone with just a hint of dark under current. The combination of 25.4 scale on the bass string and the short 24.75 top string offer great intonation, easy and even tension and enhance this guitars ability to handle any tuning you want to use from Standard to low C. What a treat to have this guitar to begin our relationship with Greg German.

I have spent years weighing the relative merits of different guitars and found things I love and things I really hate. I’m not a guitar factory, and the instruments I make are different than a factory guitar. Factories make money by moving more units, and they use machines to crank out thousands of identical parts with amazing efficiency. I use some of the same machines, but more as a way of doing intricate procedures than to create an assembly line. To me, each guitar is a living, functional sculpture and not just a product.
For years we’ve known Greg’s work on the Victor Guitars, now we are delighted to be representing his unique and wonderful designs. His background as an illustrator allows him to do wondrous detail work that is second to none.
