G&L L1000 questions

"wunkay" comes from using the "K" as an abbreviation for "Kilo" which means "Thousand". So an "L One Thousand" becomes "L One K". For some reason it's common to type the six characters of "wunkay" than to type the four characters of "1000". "Hog" is common for mahogany- not just in G&L, but in guitars. Lots of acoustic guitars have mahogany backs and sides.

G&L basses and guitars were originally offered with ash or mahogany bodies, maple necks with either integral maple fingerboards or with glued-on ebony boards. Later the ebony was discontinued and rosewood boards were offered.
