GC — The George Cole Signature

The GC is a compact, carved archtop built around a 15" body and Selmer-style cutaway, developed for clarity, balance, and physical ease. It pairs a spruce soundboard with American figured yellow birch throughout the body and neck, producing a direct, articulate response with strong fundamental focus. Appointments are minimal and functional, with geometry and material choice guiding the instrument more than ornament.
