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!

    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.
    Reiner
