Location: Maine | Amongst my collection of stuff is an old GC storm series 6 string hollow body guitar. Sadly It needs some TLC  as the volume pot has frozen.
The SN is X0008 if I recall correctly. Was there ever a production GC model ? Pics later as I'm presently out of town TJR |

It's got a spruce grained top in sort of a Nutmeg finish. The sides and back being figured maple. Gold hardware
Bound F holes and neck. There is a GC inlay in the neck near the neck joint. Pick guard too

Location: SoCal | Tal, I know that guitars were built for Glen. I saw 2 on the Goodtime Hour, one being a natural top and one with a red top. Both had the initials at the 12th fret and name on the pick guard (and I think the signature on the trc ---- they made a mess of those trc's which were slightly smaller than the ones made for the GC Artist). Maybe your dad got one that Glen didn't want? Love to see pics when you get home..... |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | To the best of my knowledge they made several natural ones, and Glen got a few. I believe only the ones for Glen were personalized as even the one advert sheet as I recall shows glen playing a standard production model. |

Location: SoCal | This was from the early 90's. Different pick guard and humbuckers. I saw him play both red and natural T-heads, but now that I think about it, the only one I can remember with the initials was the natural one (probably the same guitar as in the video). I saw 2 different red ones, one with a T-head neck (binding and inlays) and one with a plain neck.

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | The one in that video looks pretty nice and pretty modified in the electronics area. I wonder what the extra switch in the lower horn is for? |
