2022 GD Guitars Mastercraft – “Muttley-Caster” USA Custom Build

The GD Guitars Mastercraft “Muttley-Caster”, a one-of-a-kind, USA-built custom guitar from the flagship Mastercraft Series — the elite of the elite in GD Guitars craftsmanship. Every Mastercraft build represents the absolute pinnacle of what I can create: every part is hand-selected, every spec is purposefully chosen to deliver the greatest guitar experience possible. These are guitars made to inspire for a lifetime.

All USA Mastercraft guitars feature a laser-etched GD Guitars logo and unique serial number on the back of the headstock. These serials are permanently archived at Gams Designed Headquarters (GDHQ) for verification, provenance, and legitimacy checks — now and decades from now.

The Muttley-Caster was designed as the ultimate studio and stage workhorse — blending vintage soul, modern versatility, and uncompromising build quality. With titanium hardware from RockrabbitGuitars.com, a roasted flame maple neck, and a unique pickup configuration, this guitar is built to perform at the highest level. Sadly, it’s not getting the playtime it deserves, so it’s time to find it a new home where it can truly shine.
