Got GMW ???

[* velcro-fly *]

Man, finally got back into my old photobucket account and found all the shots of my 2004 era GMW binge that I thought were gone....only one out of the whole group I really wish I still had is the Bullseye...it's a GMW logo'd Strathead that Dan Lawrence clipped the logo to match the stripes....the blue reverse Strathead is actually partial mutt / Fender body w GMW neck that Lee had laying around the shop. That one went to JB then to Dan Gower in the UK for a few years. The dark blue was about 9 lbs of maple capped mahogany hahaha; Orange sparkle was an actual Jackson Dinky body Lee had left over from a special run he did for them pre-Fender....

Funny about the Bullseye...it was one of those things that seemed like such a great idea the day I ordered it, when it showed up 3 months later not so much I'm sorta struggling with same the thoughts now as I have an incoming KnE body that I'm waffling on sending to Dan Lawrence for Hot Rod Flames but not sure I culd really live with it long term....

Other stuff that stands out in these photos for me is my $1600 Ecstacy, my first Splawn modded 50 watt Marshall from when Scott was just getting going, and the Mojave Scorpion which was a fricking beast....good times.

Anybody else?

I had a GMW Crossed Swords way back when. Painted by Dan Lawrence. Wish I'd kept that one.

Side note, I had to pay the ransom to get back into Photobucket myself to get back a bunch of guitar pics I had there. I paid them for a month, got all my pics out and then gave them the middle finger.

Very nice!

I'm starting to warm up to guitars with no headstock logos these days...

Those photobucket fuckers, that's exactly what happened to me It was worth the $4.99 though, I had a bunch of photos of old stuff that I really wanted, I'll be giving them the middle finger too as soon as I clear everything out.

Super cool Crossed Swords too!

I dig GMP guitars a lot. Especially their single cuts and V’s.

Different company but a GMW connection as Dan Lawrence is now the primary owner of GMP

Killer!!

@SQUAREHEAD and @War_in_D killer guitars too!!

I don't have any of these anymore. If I had to have one back it would probably be the turtle burst. They are all GMWs despite what it does or doesn't say on the headstock. I seem to be missing picture of a couple of them

I quit buying when he wasn't able to make the old headstocks. It feels like his necks got thinner over time too.

To this day I still keep an eye out for that red single hum rosewood neck GMW...

I owned 2 of those.. still have the powder blue Mutt

Fiesta Red.. Wow! Those are some killer looking guitars.

I know most guys didn't like Lee's headstocks after he stopped doing the Fender ones, but I was one of the few who didn't mind them. I parted with this one in a trade several years ago. Kind of regret it though. It was a killer guitar.

Oh, yeah. My bad!

 

[LAVALLE]

These are my GMW’s. I still have them all except for the Green Meanie. One might look familiar ;-)

She‘s been sitting unplayed since I got her. I take them all out and tune and check them once a year but I only play a couple of guitars regularly. I’m trying to find a really nice original Charvel pointy with a Floyd and when I do I might move a few guitars. If I do you will have first crack at that one.
