GMP® GUITARS NEWSLETTER October 2009
Well, after the long wait our first Newsletter is finally here |
Sneek Peek

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
