“Grammer Guitar G-58,” built in 1968, including a Gibson case and documentation regarding species protection.
Special feature:
According to country guitarist Billy Grammer, Grammer guitars were built in Nashville, Tennessee, between 1965 and 1972. The goal was to combine the best features of Martin and Gibson guitars into a single instrument, at a time when the quality of these major manufacturers had declined significantly due to the folk music boom in the United States.
They weren't prepared for the growing demand for acoustic guitars and were facing shortages, especially of wood. Grammer guitars quickly found players; Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones also played a Grammer from time to time back then.
In 1968, due to financial difficulties, Ampeg took over management; that same year, the production facility burned down, along with the wood, templates, and blueprints. Ampeg covered the costs of a new production facility with more efficient manufacturing methods; reportedly, the quality of the guitars was no longer as good. This Grammer guitar falls within this transitional period. It possesses all the features of the “RG&G Musical Instrument Inc.” models from the period between 1965 and 1968, but inside it bears the so-called Ampeg label of “Grammer Guitar Inc.”
This guitar was featured and described in the June 2010 issue of *Akustik Gitarre* under the “Vintage” section.
The guitar features a top made of German Alpine spruce and a body made of Rio rosewood, which has been strictly protected since 1992. A CITES certificate from the Regional Office in Darmstadt is available, confirming the legality of this guitar and allowing it to be offered for sale.
