FS At Last! 2001 GMP Roxie 541

[kizanski]

Yes, THAT GMP Roxie!

TL;DR:
I bought it during a Covid-inspired boredom and since sold almost all of my guitars and "retired" from playing.
The guitar went from Atlanta to Pennsylvania for mods, to @Stikeland to make it sparkly and fabulous, and finally here to New Jersey for wiring and setup.
Now it's in its case, not being played, as I had predicted.

Plenty of pix in the above thread link, but here are a few more:

 

$1,600, shipped (with PayPal F&F, please).

P-90s and a tune-o-matic (and at least one Bigsby over the years) gave way to DiMarzio PAF Pros and TonePros wrapper.

 

 

 The "Made In San Dimas, CA" bit could not be saved, for obvious reasons, but the serial is still there for whatever that's worth.

Crappy flat frets made way to jumbos.

 

 

Beautiful creme binding replaces pointless faux binding.

 

 

The sparkle headstock wasn't working for me.

Are you suggesting it has the right stuff?

Looks like a lot of guitar for the money. GLWTS

That's pretty fantastic over all.

 

Any possibility of getting a Dicky Moe TRC?

It turned out great, Kiz. I mean...it's phallic...err...fantastic!

[polara]

Awww, that turned out great! That guitar had so much potential. I just was not up to tackling a major project then, but you did a great job. It's wired normally? When I got it, even the wiring was jacked, with two volumes and no tone.

My playing has been described in this exact way at times…

Master Volume/Master Tone now.

Thank you for saving that guitar!! I like the Sperm Whale truss rod cover! You might get hit on more often at gigs!!
