jisham Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 GMP closed its doors and I bet the dirt cheap prices of used GMPs are a thing of the past.I have a bud with a custom order there, in final stages of being buffed, and he isn't going to get it.

black magic Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 Oops, I forgot to ask 40% off List or actual price? If actual price, that is very good, if list, that is about right normally. Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobereeno Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 what happened?? what shut em down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belikerick Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I found out yesterday that the owner of GMP also owned another company that had a class action lawsuit going due to some product they sold. The lawsuit was under apeal and the verdict came down in favor of the claimants. Apparently the courts seized all assets, including GMP. Employees came in to work one day (this all happened about 8 or so days ago) and everything was gone - wood, cnc machines, etc. No more great guitars Any guitars on order on order or in process are done, what a bummer. I just sold my Pawn Shop Deluxe (classic model) to a friend a couple of months ago thinking I'd just wait for another to come along (he's gigging and it was a perfect guitar for him) and now I'm really bummed out. I hate to say this here, because I love my Hamers, but that was the best guitar I owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true at all actually. The only fact in this entire statement is that GMP ownership owned another company. No court orders, no siezed assests, and nobody walked into an empty building. Please use common sense when publicly posting rumours as fact. Anything told to anyone outside of GMP should be considered hearsay. This includes dealers, friends, industry folk, and most importantly anything read on a message board. Perhaps in time, everyone will get some closure, but for now don't expect any official announcements anytime soon. -Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthes Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Jack:Not sure if you're still looking or if this would even float your boat, but Elduave and I were out on a road trip today and came across a really nice GMP Pawnshop in that heavy, Gretsch-looking bass-boat silver sparkle for a reasonable (I thought) price. Bound F-hole, which might not be your thing, but I liked the neck, just not a guitar I'd be in the market for right now.Feel free to shoot me an email if you want details.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black magic Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 Thanks Chris, but the sparkle color and F-hole do it in for me bro, but I thank you very much. Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Wanted to run it by you first, my man. If it helps, there is a Black Pawnshop with no F-hole on eBay right now for really cheap! At least it was last night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
