Peter John Gebhardt

I didn't know Peter personally, but I have a beautiful Thinline Esquire that he built. I'll think of him when I play it.

I have been searching for info on Peter for years and am sad to finally find this Obituary! I have a Telecaster/Firebird built by Peter and will never sell! RIP Peter!

I used to call on Pete in the late 90's while he was in procurement with Oneida Ltd. I don't know what prompted me to look him up years later to see what he was up to but by doing so, I just learned of his passing and am saddened by this news. Pete was always so nice to me and treated me with the utmost of professionalism but at the same time we shared a lot of laughs together. My condolences to the family and I was honored and humbles to have known him.

I just wrote to Peter, not knowing about his passing.
Only when it came back to me and I did a search for him did I learn the news, which I'm incredibly sad about.
He was a lovely person, incredibly talented.
I own two of his guitars.
One is his creation, the other, a very enjoyable collaboration. Both highly unusual, gorgeous instruments.
In the years I knew him, we never met, we spoke on the phone a handful of times and emailed quite a bit.
He never mentioned...

I just learned of Peters passing. Peter had built me several guitars in 2013. What a master, he was a true artist. I will think of him ever time I play them. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Dear Nola and Paul, I am so sorry to hear about Peter. He was the basis for some of my best memories at the Mansion. I don't know if I have ever met a kinder soul. Rock on Pete! I am a better person for having known you.

Nola, Delly, Les, and Jessie,

My sister Jennifer has just sent this obit to me and I want you to know that I'm thinking of you and and Peter. The last time I saw him he was lovingly renovating 170 Skinner Road, my family's home for many years, He had such vision and artistic caring for all of it and I am so grateful to him for all of his tenderness and care. We all have lost a real loving artist. Much love, Joslyn

Dear Nola and Paul,
I was so deeply saddened and shocked to hear about Peter. What a tragedy for this to happen to such a gentle soul. Words cannot express the heartfelt feelings that I have for you and the family.
