Good luck, Greg!

Well, shut my mouth. I just got a call from Dave McLaren, and G&L are indeed dropping their prices. Dave basically said he wants folks to be able to get into a BTO for under $2K. They have also brought back a bunch of options to the BTO line: nut width and radius I already knew about, but also Metal Flake finishes, neck blocks (but NOT neck binding), and body binding.
I'll be getting the details this afternoon, and then I'll get to work updating the G&L Pricing thread as well as [Invalid or Expired Link Removed].
I currently only have a few BTO basses in the production queue for customers. Hit me up if you're in that camp, I might be able to revise your pricing downward.
For anyone who recently received a BTO build, I won't be able to get any relief from G&L on the pricing that went down for those basses... but I would be happy to work a nice deal for you on the next whatever you might need (strings, amps, cabs, whatever).

$300 off that Honeyburst L-2000 is a stupid good deal. Somebody please buy that before I get into a fight with my wife about $1600 I shouldn't have spent…![]()
