Your gift giver has excellent taste!
It is a USA built guitar and was built in late 1997 or 1998. The serial number is a telling factor. See
Serial number significance for details.
Can you describe the number and type of pickups and the bridge type? That will help id the actual model it is.
The Swirl finishes were discontinued some time after 1997 and that's why you don't see them on the main G&L website.
If you look in the
Ad Slicks and Memorabilia Album of the
guitarsbyleo.com Gallery you will find the 1996-1997 Catalog which shows the Swirl finishes.
If you could post a photo of the guitar, that would also help. See
guitarsbyleo.com History and G&LDP Guidelines. There is a section on posting photos.
Hope this helps.
