"Grammer Guitar G-58" built in 1968, including Gibson case and documentation on species protection.
Special feature:
Grammer guitars were built in Nashville, Tennessee, between 1965 and 1972, according to country guitarist Billy Grammer. The aim was to combine the best features of Martin and Gibson guitars in a single instrument at a time when the quality of these major manufacturers was declining significantly due to the folk boom in the USA.
They weren't prepared for the increasing demand for acoustic guitars and had shortages, especially of wood. Grammer guitars quickly found players, and 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. In the same year, the production facility burned down, destroying the wood, designs, and plans. Ampeg covered the costs of a new production facility with more efficient production methods, but allegedly the quality of the guitars was no longer as good. This Grammer guitar falls into the transition period. It has all the features of the "RG&G Musical Instrument Inc" from the period between 1965 and 1968, but inside it has the so-called Ampeg label of "Grammer Guitar Inc."
This guitar was featured and described in the magazine "Akustik Gitarre" 6/2010 under the heading "Vintage."
The guitar has a German spruce top and a Riopalisander body, which has been strictly protected since 1992. A CITES certificate from the Darmstadt Regional Council is available, certifying the legality of this guitar and allowing it to be offered for sale.
