Post Production List of G&L Instruments (USA)
Here is a chart of the Production List of G&L Instruments (USA):

[special thanks to yowhatsshakin for converting these tables :thumbup:]

Note: Some examples of models discontinued in 1991, especially models from the Signature series, were made in 1992 using leftover parts.
Also, check out our G&L Registry Page for a tabulation of real-life G&L instrument data (and be sure to add your G&L instrument to the Registry!).
With the exception of most G&L Custom Shop built instruments, we do attempt to list all production models including Limited Editions and Special Builds,
so if you are aware of any which are not listed here, please contact us with details of them, so that we can get them added.
