Here is where we are at…

 

Message from the Owner, Dan Lawrence:

First I’d like to start by saying “Thank You” for everyone’s positive comments, continued support and patience.  I can’t thank you enough for all the encouraging words and kudos.

I know everyone wants to know WHEN???? And for those that have been patiently waiting to order I’m sure “Time” has felt endless and the year has been lingering on.  However for me “Time” has been flying faster that you can imagine.  My wife and I have literally been working non-stop, late nights, weekends, holidays and any extra time we can find.  As I’m sure you can imagine trying to maintain some type of work/life balance while re-establishing the GMP brand (business and manufacturing aspects) has been a job in itself.  Many of you know I have another business DRL Graphics that keeps me busy, along with this exciting new venture of building our new GMP foundation; all the while still trying to make time to nurture my family.  Once the foundation is set all the pieces will fall into place.
 

I take great pride in reviving such a legendary name in this competitive guitar industry.  Such an undertaking requires a lot of time and perseverance.  The various steps to make the quality guitars that I plan to provide, and that you as the customer deserve,  have not come full circle as of yet.    That being said,  I have decided to bump our date to January 2, 2010. This will be the official start date for GMP to start taking orders and begin building.  I will continue to work hard with my wife and my team to complete all the necessary steps that are required to build a stronger, more efficient and successful GMP!

I intend to provide “You” the highest quality, best sounding and playing guitar/bass possible.  We’ve searched out the finest tone wood suppliers and have personally hand selected each piece for that distinctive visual and tonal vibe that GMP is known for. You can expect the same preeminent quality, styles and choices.  In addition to some new options and creative enhancements for that ultimate custom guitar or bass! That all leads to the essential question as to pricing, which will follow in our next update coming in November.

 All my best,
             Dan
