other than the issue the guy had with the fingerboard and cloudnine's order situation, do any of you have any issues with GMW? i read some reviews on HC and there weren't 10's across the board.

I love cruising that site.

worthy of purchase?

I've owned many GMWs over the years and have known Lee for a long time. Lee is busy and straight to the point, which puts off some people, but he is really a great guy. The guitars he builds are incredible and I'd recommend to anyone that was considering a custom guitar to get one from Lee at GMW...

Great guitars! I have one for sale if you are interested.

There has to be a ton of annoying guitar players who bother Lee on a regular basis so i guess you really can't blame the guy for being grumpy now and then.

If i dealt with guitar players everyday I'd lose it. :lol:

Some of use, Myself included, may have made too much out of 1 or 2 incidents that some may of had with GMW. Compare 2 incidents to thousands of crappy Gibson and Fenders for sale in stores across America.

I've never seen Gibson or Fender pull of as much of a fuck up as that fretboard was, that was retarded for anyone calling themselves a Luthier to try to pull. :no:

But you're right, that's just one incident, and it's not going to dissuade me from trying to buy one when I find the one I want. (I keep hoping Paige will someday do something stupid and sell his and I'll find it first :D ) :doh:

What Steve said.

If you go in looking for a Jackson he is going to be put off, plain and simple. IF you go in with a plan and are ready to place an order he will talk to you until both parties are happy. I have dealt with him twice and he has been the one to call me to ask final questions, my last guitar he sprang for the extra money to ship 2nd day from Cali.

Concerning Cloudnine's project, I think it came out pretty darn good ;)

Check your PM box! :D
 
a guy's selling a gmw superstrat locally. i haven't played it, but it looks very cool. I have a scalloped neck gas thing going right now and am considering a malmsteen strat.

they're both about the same price. fuck
 
I've owned 3 and currently still own 2.
some of the best playing and sounding instruments I've ever had
my hands on. I've heard Lee can be "grumpy" but I've never seen it.
I've never had an Issue or a problem with a GMW or Lee personally.
My 2 Current GMWs (would love to add a 7 string as well).
