I wonder about the future of this project.
Gruhn's hasn't shown any Versitars for sale in several weeks.
I'm disappointed in how many folks here have ridiculed these instruments. Guitarists need more choices, not fewer. No, it's not a reiteration of classic guitar shapes, but who really needs that? Yes, the logo on the headstock is silly, but that's been GG's logo since the beginning. Why does that matter?

Not everything is everyone's cup of tea. A lot of people don't like IRIS' headstock logo either, but they've grown massively since their inception because quality wins out. They now offer a logo with just the icon to appease the whiners, but they are ultimately successful at this point by making a really great guitar that people like. Gruhn could do the same, but having had the first IRIS and I think the first Versitar (other than celebs) I will say the Gruhn's have much further to come on the quality front. |

Yours was supposed to be delivered in October last year. I haven't seen a NGD, review or photos posted. How was your delivery and subsequent 7 months of ownership?

Long story short, it was sent back immediately, they fumbled a bunch throughout the process, then thereafter and that benefit of the doubt went away quickly. i wasn’t sure I could trust they’d make it right and just got my refund and moved on. I hope they get it right and maybe they have. They got it all wrong with me and I’m disappointed cuz I had really high hopes. |

Something that was hard to understand for me is how these guitars were presented to the public. Rather than doing a quality recording, they seem to have used phone recordings of the demos of hotshot players. I'm sure they sound much better in real life than these (cheap) demos showcase? Cool enough guitars, but hard to understand since Gruhn is such a major player. |

They sound like a resonator to me. *shrug*
I don't find them appealing at all.

Assuming part of this refers to my comments… what can I say? I just didn’t like the logo, Birdbrain shrug:: Aethetics matter to me! And that logo doesn’t turn my crank. As a Tacomaphile I obviously don’t mind the shape. And I hope still hope Gruhn succeeds! Personally, I don’t see a lot of ridicule in this thread. Just a lot of curiosity, some excitement, some healthy skepticism. |

I usually just hope for one that’s been built with some basic quality control….that wasn’t the case at all.
