Tribute Badging Design Change

Sign in to disble this ad
Is anyone able to tell me what month/year the G&L Tribute series changed from the obvious TRIBUTE badging on the headstock and bridge to the more subtle badging that appears on current models?

The reason I ask is that I'm picking a Tribby L-2500 up tomorrow and would be concerned if it had the old-style badging on it; and it's not just me being superficial, mind! I just want to make sure I'm not picking up old stock at a new price...

Cheers, C2J

How does the more current badging look, then?

Like this (just picked one up today)





My original thought was "wait, this is not what i've seen on all other T's but then thought "shew, people won't notice I'm a cheapskate! Heck, I may even be able to hide that fact from myself."

The small letters under the G&L logo is where it says Tribute Series and the bridge just simply says G&L instead of Tribute like it used to. Unfortunately I can't answer the original question as this was the first one I saw in person and Oklahoma Vintage Guitar and Neal's Music use the same pictures over and over for their Ebay sales.
