Moderators The Eristic Posted August 15, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 15, 2005 http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=196386&page=1&pp=40 I don't know if any of you guys have ever met him or played his instruments, but I've done both, and let me say that the guitar/ bass industry has lost both a brilliant designer and master luthier, while the world has lost a great guy. RIP, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aclarke Posted August 15, 2005 Members Share Posted August 15, 2005 Wow, that's a tragic loss, especially at such a young age. He was one of the most unique luthiers around. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jjpistols Posted August 16, 2005 Members Share Posted August 16, 2005 I've only played his designed for Cort basses - they were quite unique, but not my style at all it's a shame to go so young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoeBoy Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 I knew of his work. He was a master at his craft. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rasta Shaft Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 I met Greg last year at the Atlanta Guitar Show. What a cool guy. He made you feel as though you'd known him your whole life. Great loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ESPImperium Posted August 18, 2005 Members Share Posted August 18, 2005 Played a few of the ones he designed for Cort, his Curbow series is a kick ass series!!! very under rated, but well spec'd!!! Sad to hear of a master in the industry die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MalcolmTex Posted August 21, 2005 Members Share Posted August 21, 2005 I live here in Atlanta, and one of the first guitars I ever owned was a Tele copy that Greg made for me. Great finish and with 3 pickups like a Strat. I still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
