My favorite are the OSTSB on Quilted Maple tops.

I will add new photos of color finishes we don't have here yet.

Stay tuned.

Hi, new here and these are really beautiful. Could I make them at home myself. I am from Australia and I have some quilt cover fabric as well. I am just confusing in cutting! Any help?

The OSTSB is my favorite of the bunch. Not a fan of TSB and 3TSB is hit or miss for me. Also like the clear red, clear orange, and honey burst.

Those are beautifully done ... and far too pretty for me -LOL-

I think I'd feel funny standing up with something that pretty.
..... maybe I feel like they expect less of me, with one of my "ugly sticks" ....... :lol:

Someone at G&L please do me a favor...?

Buy a case of imported Beer (recommend Kronenburg) for the entire Finish Department at G&L, then send the bill to me.

That is superb work, as good as you'll see anywhere.
(That quilt w/ clear red....!! !!)_

I have never been a huge fan of using figured tops on strat and tele shaped guitars but these are insane. Every guitar is stunning.

G&L has some great people working in the shop with wood selection. Keep the pictures coming!

I am shortly going to order my custom build comanche. I want it to be unique, so I am thinking of the "Lemon Drop"; not seen one like that !

GORGEOUS guitars! I'm new to the G&L line, but I picked a used one and I'm smitten. Somewhere between these 3 is the answer to the itch.
