Michael Wilton - GMP Elite 

Queensrych has always been one of my favorite bands.  To own a guitar that could of been up on stage with either Chris or Michael is really a special thing.  Luckily I was able to buy two of his guitars in the same month.  What is really cool, is that they are both very similar in concept and construction.  

This one is a GMP.  Actually GMP was a guitar maker that I was really excited about and really loved owning at one time.  I still do like them, and honestly the Elite is the model I prefer from them the most.  So this is very cool for me to own one of Michael's Elites.  From what I understand (I could be wrong), that GMP mad Michael 6 Elite's all together.  3 were with Floyds and the other 3 were stop tails and string throughs.  He really loved them, but GMP wasn't able to match a deal for him like ESP could.  So he wasn't able to be a full endorsee of GMP's.  He ended up keeping 3 of the 6.  This happens to be one of the 3 that he returned.  After GMP got it back, they sent it out to another endorsee.  He was the guitar player for Alice Cooper in the late 90's and early 2000's.  I think it might of been Ryan Roxie, but I am not sure on the name.  So if you know, please tell me.  Thanks for the help if you can.
