Legendary luthier Grover Jackson of GJ2 Guitars introduces the company’s debut model, the top-of-the-line Arete 5-Star electric guitar. The Arete model is available in a player’s choice of premium tone-woods such as mahogany, rosewood, walnut, korina, and all basswood. The Arete’s standard pickup configuration is the dual humbucker set-up. The fingerboards are rosewood or ebony and come with either clay dots, mini bull’s eye pearl dots, or the striking Infinity inlays.

Arete is an ancient Greek word meaning “excellence in all things”. GJ2 currently offer the Arete guitar in 3 levels: 3-Star, 4-Star, and 5-Star. Grover Jackson personally oversees every guitar the company produces from its factory in California, USA
