PE-1000GC Aria Pro II Gerry Cott Signature guitars are like buses…
… you don’t see one for ages then two come along at once!
Although I used to own one of the original PE-1000 guitars and wish I’d never parted with it, I can’t ever recall seeing one of the blue Gerry Cott signatures before. InĀ the space of two weeks however, I have worked on two of these great guitars.
Both guitars had new nuts fitted and the lower one (which is missing the original fitted case) also got a partial refret.
The active boost switch on these guitars is pretty brutal and will push just about any amp into overdrive!




love the colour !
Hi Steve,
who owns the second guitar, with the black pick ups? it’s be great to have a chat and compare guitars!
Great job on the new nut, set up and fret polish by the way!
Regards
Jim
Glad you like the blue guitars. I still have two – both in excellent working order and they won’t be going on tour anytime soon.
Why I put the booster circuit there was simply to be able to lift the guitar out of the mix when a solo was coming along – just in case the FOH sound missed the fader :)
Very best wishes,
Gerry
I bought it 1980 as a 15 year old boy. I spent all my earnings as carpenter (holidayjob.)
It still is my favorite Guitar. I live in Cologne Germany and today As a GP doctor Ii have the money to buy Lp Customs…
But Blue PE 1000 Gc is all of my love.
Best regards to all, keep on r.
