I've never owned one of their guitars, though I have dealt with them (they used to be a Jackson custom shop dealer a few years back as well as making their own stuff - my Jacksons all came from them).

I did try getting them to make me a GMW guitar but they messed me around on lead times (i.e. quoted 5 momths but then sat on the order for a year without even starting) so I cancelled.

EDIT : just realised that I meant GMP and not GMW

I have had a couple in for setup
They are nicely made, although a bit heavy in weight

There were delays in getting them through if ordering as the parent company went through some difficulties and I heard that they stopped making for a while (heard it secondhand though) - maybe that is what happened to Antag.

If you get offered one, and you like it , then they are a great well made guitar.

There are some well made UK as well - Legra and Feline to name but two

I have 2 of them. A Charvel Bullseye replica, and the one pictured. They are really well put together guitars, but upper access is arkward with the block heels, and the neck has to come off every time the truss rod needs adjusting.
The "Bella " guitar may be up for sale if anyone is interested.

Afraid to say I'm not really a fan.

I think the shape's just ugly compared to Drac's stuff =/

Althogh, the Siren is pretty cool except for the extra cut aways into the body on the treble side of the bottom, the spawn's cool too.

Both the sirens have the bit I don't like, which is the extra fangs on the bottom of the guitar, if you look at the brown one, the fang under the bottom knob, and the fang just before the pinstripe.

If it didn't have them I'd love it :p

Although I'd still say I'd go for one of Drac's if I wanted a pointy guitar.

Drac's guitars eat Moser guitars for breakfast.

but that's not to say i don't like moser. in fact, i'm in love with the bar-steward V, but Drac's guitars are even more beautifully evil  :twisted: i want the Deathstar......... just a deep red colour like blood  8)  :twisted:

Drac wouldn't make any remakes though, the idea is that all his guitars are Unique.  He doesn't have enough time, so I think he likes to make as many different guitars as possible, and the more challenging the better I guess, since he's said it's his passion and that he doesn't get to make 3 or 4 a year.
