The Gatsby is probably one of Gordon Smith's most popular models, and for good reason! This particular one is a "Launch Edition" - from the very first run. This is the GS take on the classic "F" style offset models. It sports the JM/Jag style vibrato, with a fixed roller bridge for improved tuning stability, and two handwound P90's. If an offset style guitar was something you fancied, but the weird switching, complex set up requirements, and general quirks put you off, then this might be ideal. A British, handmade guitar for this price is an incredible deal. To get a guitar of this quality and spec from most big name brands would be MUCH pricier, but that's not the Gordon Smith way!
It has a metallic Purple/Blue finish, which transitions between a gradient of the two colours in different lighting. This is very difficult to photograph. It's a lot more striking in person!
It's in excellent shape, with the original protective plastic still on the pickguard and backplates. It also comes with the original Gordon Smith gig bag.
