Description

We originally sold this guitar as part of the LFAC auction, and now we are reselling it as like new to benefit the Ukulele Kids Club a second time!

We are excited to be partnering with the Ukulele Kids Club Inc., along with four outstanding luthiers: Steve Grimes, Jay Lichty, Peter Robson, and Ben Wilborn, as the platform that will sell four one-of-a-kind guitars to help bring the healing power of music to medically fragile children. It is our honor to support the efforts of these altruistic luthiers who have chosen to donate these fine instruments to benefit so many children in need. All partners and luthiers are proud to share that 100% of the proceeds from the sale will benefit the Ukulele Kids Club Inc.

Here we've got Steve Grimes' FHP-33 parlor guitar with some asymmetrical curves. As with all four LFAC guitars, the body is Flame Maple with Sitka Spruce on top, supplied by Steve. In addition to asymmetrical proportions, Steve also includes a carved back like you'd find on an archtop guitar. Here that comes together in a slim package that nonetheless has a sizeable voice under the hood. Great string energy and quick, snappy decay makes for a solid blues guitar, but there's also a touch of sweetness and roundness in the trebles that works well for a range of styles.

Here you can go to the Ukulele Kids Club website to donate directly as well: https://theukc.org/.

We are all in this life together and we should take care of each other. That's what I believe and that's what Luthiers For A Cause (LFAC) is all about. If you are a guitar lover, here is your chance to get a new guitar AND help children by providing the gift of Music Therapy. Imagine children being gifted a Ukulele and lessons so that music can be a big part of their healing. I know every guitar lover knows the magic of music and it's been proven time and time again to have healing powers. You have the power to help!

Steve Grimes packs a hefty punch into this petite parlor with Flame Maple and Sitka Spruce. Maybe it's the asymmetrical body or rosette, or some magic under the hood we can't see, but with this guitar Steve offers up a strong voice, great note separation, and lively string energy.
