Members The Dark Horse Posted May 6, 2005 Members Share Posted May 6, 2005 Brand spankin' new GMP Pawnshop Classic Deluxe from their custom shop. I'll let the picks speak for themselves - I can say with all certainty that I have never felt a guitar built this well. It has raised my level of expectations 10 fold.

Members tim gueguen Posted May 6, 2005 Members Share Posted May 6, 2005 Interesting how if you squint at the headstock emblem right it looks like the logo Vantage used on some of their early '80s guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jim_Soloway Posted May 6, 2005 Members Share Posted May 6, 2005 Originally posted by Pete Rules Goddamn dude, where can you get those for $900??? They just had a clearance sale of a bunch of brand new guitars. There's a thread on another site that claims that they're going out of business but I have no idea if that's true. I sure hope it's not. I really like their guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators The Eristic Posted May 7, 2005 Moderators Share Posted May 7, 2005 Great score! GMP makes incredible stuff. Tomorrow, I am going to try to work a deal with a dealer for piece that may be even more visually distracting than yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Big Boss Man Posted May 7, 2005 Members Share Posted May 7, 2005 That was one of the guitars they listed on ebay, right? I saw they had a couple at really good prices a week or two ago. If they had a solid body Pawnshop I probably would have taken it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Dark Horse Posted May 7, 2005 Author Members Share Posted May 7, 2005 They did but they all went so fast. I was fortunate enough to get one of the guitars they made for NAMM 2005 - I think only 2 of the 10 auctioned off were. This was one that went for the low, low price of $500. One other cool thing I discovered was that the author of the listing for the GMP I won made a typo. It was advertized as a Pawnshop Classic Standard when it was in fact a Pawnshop Classic Deluxe. One thing that isn't picking up well in the photos is that the pickup rings, knobs, pickup selector switch, etc are all chrome plated. No white or cream plastic anywhere.

Members Europa760 Posted May 7, 2005 Members Share Posted May 7, 2005 thats too bad, GMP has a really nice shape. i remember seeing an ad for one in a magazine way back. it was black les paul with a bigsby. that was hot. and some bad ass dude in leather was standing next to it. so you know had to have been bad ass too.
