George Benson's Grimes Kula Rose
This Beautiful piece belonged to George Benson. Excellent condition, w/ohsc.
Manufacturer’s Description:
Originally, the arch top instrument was designed by such early pioneer luthiers as Orville Gibson and Lloyd Loar to compete acoustically with the much louder band instruments like the horns and reeds before the days of electric pickups. The arch top design was capable of projecting a clearer sound with greater volume than its flat top predecessor. Designed for the acoustic jazz guitarist, the “Rose” model has a well defined, ringing tone rarely found in an arch top. It is a versatile performing guitar with a powerful projection and a clear voice making it an excellent guitar for both concert and studio work.
