G&L L-1000 Bleg

#204
Man, I'm falling down on that part of my job! Apologies to all. Another one showed up today (the natural fretless 4 string) along with a few other guitars, so I spent today photographing and shipping... now I'm only about 15 guitars behind on photo processing. LOL I'm going backwards!!

The laptop is going home with me tonight, I hope to make some progress.

Sorry for being so slow about this!!

By the way, today's 4 string was the lightest one yet: 8.4 lbs.

Those frets are what adds to the weight. Take those away and you got lightweight. :D

Here's yours, Jim! I just got the photos up a few minutes ago. More to follow throughout the day (hopefully).

Been lurking here since I love G&L's. Anyone else notice there are two slightly different headstock styles being made? One is the old style with the pointy eye-gouger and there is a newer one that is less-pointy and appears to be slimmer over all. Why the difference? Does it relate to the neck number? I have a bass with the #12 neck and it is the newer less-pointy style.

Interesting! I hadn't noticed that, but I definitely see what you're saying. I'll ask G&L what the story is on that.

According to my G&L rep, the variation is do to the fact that the final sanding is handwork. So even though the headstock shape is cut by CNC, there can be variations in the shape as someone manually preps the headstock for finish.
