Spalt Maple Pawnshop Deluxe


Image
Hopefully I did this right. I'll post the rest of them in the next few days. This one is one of only 2 pieces that GMP did with spalted maple. The only reason the other one exists is that they messed up the original order and chambered the body. This one is a solid body. The bridge pickup is a custom custom. The neck is a Seymour Duncan Jazz. No markers except for the 12th fret. "Tony" neck profile. The idea for the guitar came from seeing Brubaker guitars at the 2003 Nashville NAMM. Hope you like it.

A guy named Tony Higbee ordered a bunch of customs for the Guitar Center in Atlanta. Then he went on to work for GMP. He asked that they start making a slimmer profile neck than they had done previously. Therefore it was dubbed the "Tony" neck.
It has more of a Jackson feel.

I will. Tony's living in Nashville now. Doing well. He still has his star Roxie. It was the first string-through Roxie ever. We'll have to find a pic of it. I'll pass the message along.
