And today, after thirty years of schredding, I sold it. Made a great deal, but a bit sad to see it go….

Don’t know if y’all still around or not but anyway I bought my GTS 200 from your shop in Coopersburg probably like 1991 maybe 92 all I do know is I was 16 years old when I bought it and I’m 41 now and it’s still my favorite guitar that I own and my fondest memorie of the old shop is when I came in to check out your product was Dave I had never seen one of those touch guitars I had asked Dave what it. Was so he picked one up and he blew my mind the next thing I did was put money down on my guitar and went to George’s music to cancel out on the Ibanez USA Custom that I was going to buy so glad I did . well just one more thing if u still have a shop please contact me I wood like to maybe have y’all give it a little touch up P.S. THANKS FOR ALL THE YEARS OF FUN

I worked for PBC and I was the one who sold that guitar to Cintiolis.

Hey all! My name is Laura, and I spent my teenage summers working in my grandfather’s guitar shop — PBC! (He was the “C” in PBC.) If you bought your PBC guitar from the shop in Coopersburg, I probably handled it, and you might have even met me! I am so delighted to read such a positive review of the instruments built with such craftsmanship and pride. I was sad to see it go. Dave was certainly a character, and Bob, Tommy V., Rob and Billy the Painter were the best crew. PS If anyone wants to sell ME a PBC for $75, I’m always looking for old friends! Thanks for refreshing old memories.

I’ve got the same one! In 1990 or so i worked in a little musicshop in Dordrecht, the Netherlands and the owner imported a few PBC guitars, including this one. Because he didn’t have enough cash to pay my salary, he offered me to shop for free to the amount he owed me. So i left for home with this guitar, and a great secondhand marshall stack and a few effect pedals. Still enjoying this guitar till today! Greetings from Holland, Jeroen.

Hey, Michael, I agree with you completely on the PBC guitars….I have a ca. 1990 Telestyle PBC and this thing just won’t go out of tune and it sustains forever….it was an Ebay score a couple years ago, and I gotta send it to Phil Bunker to get it overhauled and restored……thanks for a great history!
