The Artist GM1 has been a favourite in our range for ages, keeping the grunge flame burning for each new generation inspired to pick up the guitar after hearing Nevermind for the first time! However, for fans of the countless legendary bands of this era, the lack of the iconic vintage vibrato on the original GM1 has kept the GM1 from completely fulfilling the sounds of the era for which it is named. Enter the all-new Artist GM1V, now equipped with a vintage-style vibrato system!
Featuring the same awesome Artist Howler P90 pickups, bound neck, vintage slotted machine heads, and offset body as the standard GM1, the GM1V is even closer to the myriad offset body guitars played by just about every Grunge legend you can name! Pick behind the bridge with heavy distortion for otherworldly howls, or throw on some fuzz and reverb, grab the tremolo arm, and strum away for shoegazing goodness!
