I'm curious about Mr. Gimpel. Who is he? What does he do at EBMM? I think he is a luthier\engineer... It sounds like he has done a fair bit of the design work at the company. If that's the case, what projects has he done? I'm fascinated by the design process. Does he frequent the forums? Maybe he can enlighten us? Thanks!!!

How did you hear about Dudley Gimpel?
He is a mysterious man.
Actually he is the chief designer for all we have done with a little help from me. Together we have designed many guitars and basses...we now have Jon Watkins and Drew Montell that are firing away Too

I could be wrong but if I'm not mistaken he built/designed Petrucci's double neck, 12/6 string. Damn I wish I had a pic, it is absolutely stunning!!!!
Other than that....... I know nothing, good question Rokstar.

Dudley pops in here once in a while ("Guitarburetor" is his moniker here).
He's the Thomas Edison of guitardom.
When you can snatch the plectrum from his hand, it will be time for you to go.

Dudley's a great guy.....and he has some really interesting stories!! I've also said this about Dan Norton...but one of the great things about Dudley is he has so much knowledge and he's always willing to share it and answer any questions we may have for him. We pretty lucky around here...to not only have tons of knowledge and talent...but also the employee's that are willing to share that with others. Kudo's to Dudley, Dan and BP....thanks!! I try and turn into a spounge when those guys are around.
