Impressions of G&L guitars?

SEXUALLY KINDA

i love love love the asat specials - thats a usa though, but not with really expensive options

not only is that model my favorite of their geetars (ok i dig the comanche as well), but to my total surprise its also our best selling model (normally the stuff i like sits on the wall and taunts me for months)

People only like Strats and Teles and LPs.

Yeah it's totally the specials and the Comanche's I'm eyballin

whoohoo, G&L dude was in today and i ordered a tribute asat special and a tribute comanche, so now rrrabies has no excuse not to stop by

WHEN DOES ARRIVE

BTW that seems like a lot of effort to get an unemployed dude in the door.

hahaha nah it was all on my list anyway, just figured id let you know.

prob arrive about 10 days from now, eastwood on tuesday ITS A GEAR FIESTA

New for 2010, The Albino Collection.

holy shit how was that six months ago

yeah i think one of those is going to make its way in my door, they were SUPER reasonable on the way they computed the cost (wrt custom paint and ebony fretboard and other pimpadelic whaterever the hell) plus no goddamn gold holdware which i hate

gold hardware woulda been death (i like it on red strats bcz of dumb ron asheton bias but yeah). wish they at least had other options for the pickguard at least, i'm not into the everything all white turn away while you cough don't ever scuff it aesthetic isn't for me. but the upgrades to the DF vibrato, for whatever they're really worth, are evidently making their way onto some of the usa models and that renewed my interest in those commanches. i mean like...one day. http://www.honda67vn.com/forum/images/smilies/67/broke.gif

turn away while you cough

Changing the pickup in a white guitar today, amazing difference between the colour of the exposed paint and the paint that was protected by the pickup mounting plate.

Have to rep for G&L basses. I have two, an eighties passive Lynx and a more recent active Semi Acoustic ASAT and they are both really lovely sounding instruments, the Lynx is certainly one of the biggest sounding passive basses I've even played, looks like shit though, it's a crappy liquorice colour.

A few months ago, the G&L Facebook page reported a theft from their headquarters, where they've been known to keep Leo Fender historical memorabilia. Things like old g&l and fender ledgers, guitar parts, random stuff. I'll try to track down the Facebook post later, but can't find it on mobile.

So the other day, I came across a reverb.com listing for a g&l neck template. This seemed suspicious to me, so I sent a message to g&l via their fb page. They wrote back to me and confirmed that it was in fact stolen and that they've since added it to the police report.

I know that we've got some g&l fans in here, so if you see something odd, give them a heads up.
