heres some more pictures of the rebuilt gp. its an absolute joy to play - i love the feel of the graphite neck. the neck and the fixed bridge give a real piano like tone, and its got great sustain. the miracle man set is a good match. overall i'd say its a real gwem guitar.
old favourite spirit by steinberger is maple neck through, and has a very different sound. but they did a good job on it, and the playing experience is quite close to the original.
it took ages to get all the parts for the rebuild, and its a marvellous instrument. i still have some reservations about it, but lets face it - these guitars rarely come up on ebay. i prefer the GP shape to the classic GL, obviously due to the flying V alike look. i'm sure the sound is rather different - maple body vs hollow graphite. i went for the off-white colour to be the same as my favourite colour for flying vs. it gives a 70s looks, which nicely offsets the futuristic look and feel the instrument generally has.
originally the GP guitars were MIJ. this one is MICAS (made in croydon and shoreditch :D)
