Location: PA | O.K. then I guess that clears that up.....Sorry cwk2 I didn't realize you were the man with the real answer. I've heard ALL kinds of explainations about where this guitar originated. But here's my next question:
Is the GP a Samick Designed guitar, like one they already had in production? or did you guys come up with the body design and just out-source the construction to Samick?
Thank you sir! |

Location: PA | Agreed, to me the feel and balance of the GP has always been great. Way more comfortable to play than my Les Pauls. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Yeah, It's got it. The relief so it won't cut into your ribs like a Tele does. Fits smooth like a scrat. |
