The very definition of functional art, Grit Laskin’s guitars. Each one a piece unto itself, and this 2011 “Blueprint for Curves” is no exception. This guitar is featured in Grit’s book, Grand Complications (find it here), and explores his process in pulling this piece together with his client: “an element common to many of the themes we had debated was curves: the curve of 1930s cars, mid-twentieth-century industrial design, the female nude, Art Deco sculpture, and, of course, natural plant forms. So that became my theme, Curves. I went to work.”
And what work he did. The center of the fretboard is the scene of the actual blueprint, and as the waves of the fretboard extension and the Bugatti of the headstock come in contact with the blueprint they are reduced to line drawings to share space with a female nude and fibonacci sequence. The body of the guitar is comprised of gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood and a tight-grained Sitka Spruce top, with Grit’s trademark arm and rib bevels.

I love the concept of the artwork on this guitar almost as much as I love the voice! This is simply one of the best I’ve ever heard from Grit, so alive that it completely fills the room. Extremely fun to play and stunning to behold.
