Decidedly not in the Martin-Gibson mold.

From the Gruhn Versitar website:

“Guitar retailer George Gruhn is a man who's heard or played just about every type of stringed instrument made, and he's heard them played by the best musicians out there. Even at that, Gruhn says there are acoustic guitar sounds that could and should be made, that he simply isn't hearing from the traditional makers. So, he's out to change that. After 53 years in instrument sales, George Gruhn is designing and building his own guitars. He calls his new creation the ‘Versitar.’"
