Postby ImNotJohnnyRamone » Wed Nov 25, 2009 3:46 pm

I heard of GPC like a few months ago. You guys here of them? They make some Mosrite copies and the granddaddy of em all The Ramones model. Im looking at this one alot and kinda wanna buy one. Guy, do me a favor, look it over and use you unlimited guitar knowy-ness and tell me if they are good.

I've not heard of GPC guitars before. Are they readily available in shops?

Here's one on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/GPC-Rockaway-series ... 20ae3f261d

I'd prefer the traditional Mosrite headstock shape though. Hallmark is closer...

There's my 2 cts.

Steve,
Again, this was NOT a shot at you. This is just a general request for 'ALL NEW MEMBERS,' that can't
believe they have finally found a 'Mosrite Forum' to shout out their questions at ;) .......

Yes, in the 90's the Guitarpunk website not only sold the GPC's but was pretty much the only US distributor of the Kurokumo Japanese Mosrites. They carried the complete line -I know, I bought 2 guitars and some accessories from them. Flav, the guy mentioned in the previous thread, was a heck of a nice guy and very knowledgeable about Japanese Mosrites.
