Anybody want some nice Electric Guitars ???

[gpw]

OK!!! I made all these really nice guitars and now have run out of space, which limits future development ....Decided to sell a couple off.. These are all handmade (by me ) solid body guitars , exotic woods,nicely outfitted and ready to rock and roll...will try to get some pics up, or just PM me and we'll discuss it ... Thanks !!!

Here's one of mine that made the mags... http://news.harmony-central.com/Newp/1998/Lobster.html

[kissfan]

that's VERY cool. how expensive are we talking about here?

davidhope@hughes.net

[gpw]

Under a "large" ,some way under... all performance/ tone oriented..tested "on the gig" ..quality instruments with a lifetime guarantee...

BTW, I'm also a R&D consultant for www.NewOrleansGuitar.com ..now those are expensive...

[7up]

Nice! What brand pickups you use? Do you do customization to other guitars, ie. custom fretboard inlays?

Post some pix and prices or PM...

Cool

[gpw]

7up...Yes we do all that ...Prefer to start from scratch ( we just like to make things :D )
We use various pickups according to the needs of the players...Dimarzio and Duncans our favorites cause we can order special winds...I'll have to get some pics for you guys... Later today as soon as it gets light...

[angielew]

All I can Say Is WOW GPW, all the talks and never knew you did this :)
I love them, with all the health issues don't know if we could afford one, but sure would like to sometime in the future.
I've still got my ole' standard, the charvelle, I've been playing with it and just love the sound and design.
can't wait to see more pictures.

[gpw]

Sorry, it's been dark and rainy here , the pics I took look too dark , can't see any details... will try to get some better lighting and get some good pics... be back soon ...Thanks for your patience..

[gpw]

The pics aren't as good as they could be , but will give you some idea...I've got more, but this is all I could drag out for the moment..

[paulo810]

Apparently these are powered by ducted fans since I don't see any props. Bet they sound great as they fly by. Nice work ( really ).

[micro_builder]

very nice! i play acoustic mostly, but that lap steel caught my eye - always wanted to learn to play one of those.

i've already got my dream electric guitar, and a couple acoustics that fit my needs (and i'm too broke to go out and buy another guitar!), but very nice work either way, especially on the gold top, definetly not an easy paint job i'm sure. i like the headstock design on it as well.

i know a few other guitarists, i'll shoot them a link for this thread and see if they're interested

nick

[gpw]

That gold top is real 24K GOLD... not paint...makes good shielding too :D

[micro_builder]

hot dang, now i KNOW i cant afford it!! :D

[osmenthe]

That gold top is real 24K GOLD... not paint...makes good shielding too :D

No 60 cycle hum for that one!

I play as well (just not well) :D

My passion though for some masochistic reason are the Ibanez "Lawsuit" guitars. I'll have to see if I can dig out a picture of my Sunburst Deluxe '59er. I think it plays better than the real thing (flame suit on!!)

Rod

[gpw]

Micro, relax, it's only gold leaf , not solid ...hahahahaha
OSM, Long ago we realized that all guitars are just wood and steel...no magic , justs someones labor/time ... sorta' like cooking ....I know alot of players who prefer the knockoffs, especially the Japanese ones....

[Thatovalguy]

Glen your killing me here. Darn and I had to buy a new house. Still your killing me. Ah my fingers aren't worthy of them anyway.

[Double Pappa]

Oh and I was hoping to see a foamy guitar....LOL

[callmeishmael]

What, no foam-body guitars? The resonance might suck but the damping would be huge.

[kissfan]

how much for the lobster claw in the ad?
i'll call you tomorrow.
David

[Jerry Combs]

Tog,

Sell one of your choppers and you just might be able to snag one of GPW's beautiful creations. My fingers aren't that great either anymore.

Jerry

[Thatovalguy]

Hmmmm, sell a chopper, hmmmm, not a chance. :D

[7up]

Beautiful

Works of art
Eye candy
Great design

I'll take em all ... if I win the lottery.

[Scott Crownover]

Beautiful work Glen!

The Rocket lap steel and the "Fish" are my favorites. What kind of pick-ups on the lap steel?

Scott

[supafly808]

did you make them from scratch? nice work!

[gpw]

I wouldn't sell my choppers either...my Chopper bicycles.. :rolleyes: TOG, I never knew...How's the new house???
SC, some vintage tele and hum b's on the LS...
They're all made from scratch, the wooden parts anyway...I learned to carve the necks by making English Longbows ...I just like to make things, I even made my own house...
If you're interested in a guitar , you really need to come by and play them .... I've been playing since I was 14 (some time ago) so I know how to make them play well ,as well as sound good...the Lobster series was a study in ergonomics, very comfortable, perfect balance ...no reason to have that sore shoulder the day after the gig...

[Bill Bergman]

What....no Parker Fly?

[WIIRED1]

:D I might trade or sell my chopper t-rex for a guitar I'm in proggress one the mad skilllls. On my cheap acustic.

[gpw]

Berg, Sorry no PF's ... we try to concentrate on original designs rather than duplicate past experiments ...actually I'm motivated by beautiful pieces of wood...the prettier the wood , the prettier the guitar...the wood available usually determining the shape ...
Curious , all the good folks that called expressed an interest in also playing better...After playing for so many years (since I was 14) we've worked out a simple methods for better playing.. Anyone coming here will have the method explained if they desire...

[birdie_in_texas]

So Is The Red One That Is Headless, Is That A "real" Trans Trem" On That Or One Of The "cheaper" Ones..?

[gpw]

Steinberger... seems to work very well for tuning (always stays in tune )and has a nice "watery" sound like the Bigsby...

[kissfan]

awesome guitars glen. Hope one will be mine soon.

[gpw]

If you guys come down on a weekend when we're playing, you can hear/test them out "on the gig"...That's the Ultimate test...:D

[gpw]

More pics today...yes, there's lots more to choose from ...:D

[gpw]

Bill, if you really want one , I'll make you one, just no exeoskeleton thing...
Meanwhile here's some more pics...

[MrFlash]

:eek: Awesome jobs dude !!, true craftsmanship at its finest.

All that talk of Dimarzio and Seymour Duncans has got me on a nostalgia trip. Is Bob Bradshaw still making his rigs , what about Floyd Rose , did he ever sell up to Kramer ...Im feeling very old all of a sudden .


Loverly work GPW ;)

[gpw]

Mr.Flash , Thanks !!! I think all those guys are still working...
I don't feel old , I just LOOK OLD!!!!! :D

[MrFlash]

I don't feel old , I just LOOK OLD!!!!! :D

Join the club dude ;)

[gpw]

They dragged me into the clubhouse , kicking and screaming , pulled out my hair and dyed my beard gray... still feel like I'm 15, well most of me anyway...:rolleyes:

[Marcuswhorley]

Glen, I always knew you were a luthier, But I never knew how talented you actually are...Just speechless, words cant say enough....Marc, (aka) number 2 of the whorley bros.

[gpw]

Marcus , many Thanks !!! How are you guys doing ... been awhile , eh ..???? Hope all are well and prosperous... :D

[gpw]

Somebody's gotta' want a guitar...??? I'm practically giving them away at these prices..Guess I'll have to offer new upholstery and floor mats too... :rolleyes:

[kissfan]

I called you this week when I was in New Orleans but you never returned my call. ?? had cash in hand

[gpw]

Kiss... Sorry , I had a doctors appointment to remove a growth (Skin C ) off my arm...took all afternoon , got home about 5:30 , discovered your messages , you were already gone , so I decided to not call and bother you ..figured we'd get together later on ...Keep in touch ...sorry I missed you ....CU

[ericthetree]

I called you this week when I was in New Orleans but you never returned my call. ?? had cash in hand it might be a good idea to call b4 you leave for new orleans next time

[gpw]

Yeah , I was anxious to meet KissFan , and rap (talk) about music ...Double dog darn !!! Now all I have to show is a hole in my arm and all these guitars ...Guess it's bettern' a hole in the head , which my wife accuses me of ...hahahahaha

[gpw]

Remember , Christmas is coming ....!!!:D

[gpw]

[madsci_guy]

Description, pictures, asking price?

[gpw]

Which one do you like ??? Want more pics ??? Which one ??? All are different ...like women ... :rolleyes:

[madsci_guy]

[WIIRED1]

Are any of them good for a begginer acoustic player, to move over to electric?

[gpw]

Any good E guitar would be good for an acoustic player to move over too ... You'll enjoy the lighter/easier action(easy on the fingertips) and a possible plethora of new tones...The secret to a good playing guitar is having someone who knows how to do a good Set-UP...
Any of these would be fine ...and would have the advantage of having a proper setUP and intonation..These were made by me to PLAY at the gig ... Been playing for 47 years now (building guitars for 12yrs.), and we've come to Expect certain things from a guitar ..TONE, Playability/Comfort,TONE !!! :D These are GREAT!!! I just made too many ...:rolleyes:

[gpw]

Will post more detailed pics of all these guitars on my new website www.glenweber.com soon ...

[gpw]

WELL, SINCE MY SITE IS STILL "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" ... we'll just miss out on the specials of the month on these guitars ... PM me if you're interested...BIG SALE !!! I still have waaaay too many guitars ...

[gpw]

It's Christmas... time to ask Santa for that custom guitar :rolleyes: Plenty of choices left... :D

[Bill Bergman]

Hey Glenn need any home made pedals?

[gpw]

WOW!!! You made all of those ??? COOL !!!! Now I know who to speak to about modifying my Fuzz Face(Dunlop) ...sounds like C**P... not like the old ones with the good germanium transistors...

Using a Vox DA5 through the PA now , modeling and effects built into a tiny box...Easy to carry to the gig for us old guys ... :D

[Bill Bergman]

Yes, thanks.
That's actually a pretty old picture. Lot's have come and gone since then. Now that I'm back into RC, I haven't made any pedals in a couple years.

[WIIRED1]

Hey guys I've played the acoustic guitar for 1 year and want buy and electric. I've asked my local guitar shop but I want to see your advice on which one to get. I've saved $350 for a guitar and amp what would you guys suggest? I've heard you should buy a used guitar because you get more bang for your buck.
Thanks,
Josh

[gpw]

Wired , be sure to shop around and PLAY each prospective guitar(alot)...to see how it sounds and plays ... remember , most guitars will play (comfortable)GREAT after a good set -up ... Try a bunch and then choose the one you like best ...Get someone(a seasoned player/musician, and NOT the guy in the music store) to go with you to help if you can ... as far as amps go , we've been using the tiny Vox DA5 with great success... lots of tasty tones and effects built in .... for a BIG sound , we just plug it into the band PA system .. there's a special jack for that too ....easy and you can probably find them for around 100.00 bucks ... Good luck !!! Let us know if you have any more questions...

[WIIRED1]

Guys I just got a epiphone Les Paul Costume electric guitar for christmas with a Marshall 15amp w/reverb amp. Of course I have to pay a 1/4 of what it cost but still!!!! This guitar is awsome!!!!! Let me know what you guys think about me getting a sweet guitar.

[Bill Bergman]

Great! practice,practice,practice,

[WIIRED1]

Yes I am surely playing it like crazy. I've never held an electric guitar in my hands, and its so different from a $100 acoustic. :eek: I never thought I'd spend $800 on a guitar!!!

[gpw]

Wired , NICE!!! Great Start .... play/practice as much as you can , jam with others if possible ... that's where you get your "chops"... :D

[gpw]

The website is starting to come alive ... will post guitar pics and info very shortly ...other stuff too :D

www.glenweber.com

[WIIRED1]

Hey gpw this may not be the most amazing song in the world but its something that I could play every night at my youth group (everybody in there is a Zelda fan). Just wanted to show you.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUVsGLES5K8&feature=related

BTW: I'm getting better at the guitar, anything specific you'd advise that I should know?

[Bill Bergman]

Very nice !

[WIIRED1]

Of course there is another friend of mine that would play the Bass!

Which yeah it is sweet!

[gpw]

Wired, pretty Cool Dude !!! :D you're doin' GREAT !!!! Nice tone too , what are you using for effects...???

[gpw]

Just peeked in the closet, "Guitar Heaven " everybody's STILL there...even after all this ... I give UP !!!

[WIIRED1]

:( Yeah thats not my guitar, thats just a video I watched to make sure I was played right. But hey I'm learning

Sorry the bussiness isn't goin to well

You shoud also know I'm like 15 years younger than that guy

[gpw]

Wired, keep plugging away Dude , you'll get there....:D It does take quite a while to become proficient ...Once you get there you'll be "wailing"

Not really a business, just an advanced hobby...I make these guitars to please myself and play on the gig with ... Just FUN stuff!!! My good friend who makes Guitars for a living (neworleansguitar.com ) considers it ...Work :eek:

[WIIRED1]

Thought I'd give you a couple picks of Loran. :D


I've got that Zelda song down by heart now.

[gpw]

Wired... Nice Axe Dude !!!!:D Looks like you're ready to join a band ... you might want to look UP some music theory on the net...chord theory and formation at least... hard to understand now , but will make it alot easier later...once you know what is going on , it'll be EASY to play anything you want...here's a site with some good stuff ... http://www.jazzguitar.be/ I know , I know ... it says Jazz , but music is music ... except maybe "rap"...:rolleyes:

[WIIRED1]

GPW thanks for the site and info.

BTW: You can't have crap without rap.

[gpw]

We really don't consider Rap as music , it requires no musical skill /learning whatsoever... Just the ability to steal others recordings, add a booming bass and silly(8 year old mentality) rhymes filled with filthy words and loathsome social commentaries ... besides it all sounds the same 50 feet away ... Boom Boom Boom ... :censored: Exploitation of the Dumb !!! No morally redeeming value...Sad huh???

[gpw]

... and with every guitar purchase , I'll throw in a free Plectrum and some links to Jazz Guitar lessons... :rolleyes:

[WIIRED1]

Do you have any guitar stuff you'd trade for anything in here?

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=809037

[gpw]

Sorry , not a heli guy ....What else ya' got ???

[WIIRED1]

Nothing :D

[gpw]

Bummer!!!

[msmith]

Hey folks... do me a favor and check out the page again...

http://www.glenweber.com/

We were having some issues w/ images showing up on the 'Guitars' tab... Please let me know if they're showing up...

Thanks,
Mike S.

[WIIRED1]

They are showing up for me now.

[msmith]

Thx WIIRED1... I appreciate the help!

-ms

[gpw]

So do I ...:D

[gpw]

anybody got a nice old tube amp they'd like to trade ...???

[gpw]

How about a camper trailer??? Perfect for hauling airplanes to Fly-ins... :D

[gpw]

Hurry ! hurry! Hurry! Step right up !!! See the Man Eating Chicken !!!...A few really great guitars left ....Don't wait !!! :D

[WIIRED1]

Do you have a local guitar shop? Why not try and sell them there? Or post them in a local action. Just an idea(if they don't take too much cut).

They look like cool guitars to play.


ARGHHH for some reason I'm unable to advance in my skill on the guitar! :o I'm still pretty bad....


-Josh

[gpw]

The local shops are too busy selling CNC replicas of old guitars to bother with handmade stuff ... That or they want an exclusive, without spending any money ...and the prices they offered for buying outright were just ridiculous ... they want to make ALL the money ... that's why I'm selling direct , The buyers save mucho bucks , and I get a few for my effort/materials .....Besides ,I'm in no real hurry to part with my "babies".. :rolleyes:

Practice ,Practice,Practice ... and be sure to join a band and play around with as many other venues as you can ...it forces you to "get better".... :D It honestly takes about 2 years of all this to become fluent...Worth the effort when you're a rock star... :D

[WIIRED1]

I've been playing for 1&1/2 years, and I still suck :o :( . I'm trying to learn some easy punk songs, but they require 2 guitarists to sound good.

[gpw]

You know what they say , two punks are better than one :rolleyes: :D

[gpw]

Anybody need some nice guitar amps,Chopper bicycles,a Hammond Organ and big Leslie,bows and arrows...Going out of existence, EVERYTHING MUST GO !!!!

[gpw]

WeberPlanes.. now available ... aviation ART...small Airplane drawings on Rag paper , suitable for framing .. $3.00 ea. + shipping ... be the first one in your squadron to have original airplane drawings in your Hanger...

[gpw]

.................................................. ................... : Psst!!! Hey!!! Over here!!!

[gpw]

WELL, ALL THESE POSTS ..and no results... :eek: Guess I'll have to resort to Ebay or Craigs list ...gotta' get rid of this stuff... can't fit it in "the Box", can't ship it all off to Canada...No children to fight over it :rolleyes:

[WIIRED1]

Hey I thought this was pretty funny :D . (man I haven't been on 5 months its a record)!!!!!! :eek:

[gpw]

Dude! Must be an Alien from Outer Space !!! some guitar players are just "mutant" fast... funny thing is , way beyond the audience comprehension/appreciation...a few tasty notes does as well..(BB) hahahahahaha

[gpw]

We've been making hand wired amps and effects pedals too ... Combo deals anyone??? .... not like I'm not trying here...hahahahaha

[gpw]

Something different and ergonomic
