Need to see some G&L finishes

[EthanS]

Ordering a G&L L2500 soon and I am stuck on the finishes. I've scrolled through guitarsbyleo, reverb, and the like, but still stuck. Maybe you guys here on tb can help nudge me along in the elimination process (bonus points for black/blue burst)

The two which shook me were a trans root beer and an Pharaoh Gold. There’s tons of pics of P/gold ones, but I cannot for the life of me find any evidence of a root beer G&L.

I swear @RocketMusic had an L1K and/or an L1005 in trans Root Beer with a maple board a few years ago.

I might’ve dreamt it.

I think the whiskey color resembles that pretty well

Is that an L2K with a pickguard? I didn't know you could get a guard on them

My ‘96 Blueburst with natural body binding. It has black edges and back. In the sun, the black looks purple and blue looks turquoise.

newer ones like the Custom Shop fretless below have Dark-Blue edges

In Japan you see quite a few, but I've still only seen several like the one on the left.
The one on the right I've seen dozens of times...yes, even ones made for L2000s...but I swear, I've seen more with the L2500 pickguards!
Mine was custom made, though.

I really like the blueburst color, but I have a hard time seeing the blue sometimes. Is the newer one you have more of a bright blue or dark blue? Just curious.

Might have to get in on the custom guard action when I get mine, thanks!

Blueburst L1000. Sorry about the poor photo. The finish is dark in normal light but stage lighting and outdoors make it pop.

The L2000 w/natural binding is awesome. What a lovely bass. Send me a note if you ever decide to let it go!
