About this guitar
A small-batch production line that brings Dean Gordon’s Virtus and Mirus body shapes to a more accessible price point. Built in-house in Dean’s Miami workshop in tightly controlled runs of five to ten instruments, each guitar is personally inspected and signed off by Dean Gordon before release. Runs are sold first-come-first-served through an email registry rather than made to order.
