Giffin Standard Solid Body
Roger Giffin first came up with the Giffin Standard guitar in the late 70's at the request of a customer who wanted a "Strat meets Les Paul" type of instrument. The body shape that he ended up using evolved from guitars he had been building since back in the early 70's. It's not surprising to see that many other builders hit upon this type of design at about the same time. It was a very logical guitar that needed to be invented.
