The guitar custom shop??

[RockinJim]

Order placed with Lee last night for a tricked out soloist/kramer style guitar.

Soloist alder body, maple bolt on neck, ebony board, gold hardware - OFR, gotoh tuners, slanted zebra Dimarzio SD, 'blue burple' custom metallic color with matching headstock.

Price was 1400 including case.

He said it would take 4-5 months because they are currently doing neck-thru construction and they don't have a maple bolt on right now. Lee has been great to deal with.

I hear positive things about GMW, anybody have experience to share?

Thanks to 'neilli' for the suggestion. Gold star!

I have a bunch of GMWs (hence why I mentioned them!), and they're great. I've got a couple more since this pic was taken, but here's a few:

Actually, you might want to start a new thread rather than loosing the subject or derailing this one

Sweet dude. I hear nothing but good things about GMW and Lee has been a pleasure to work with. Looking forward to getting my first custom-made guitar! I have no doubt it will be killer.

I would go with 10-12 pieces glued together. More glue and less wood gives more resonance and tone. In order to get that "woody" sound, it's best to remove as much wood as possible. Glue is where the tone is.

The glue is stronger than the wood! I've been experimenting with 100% glue for my bodies.
