Re: Some G&L photos from Jan 2018 NAMM
Hey Craig, Thanks for sharing! Everyone needs to get the book. Got it for Christmas and breezed through it, great read and learned a lot. Anyone get a clip of Danny Kortchmar playing? Would love to have been in that audience I see part of an ASAT at the bottom left, interesting color, kinda camo looking, what is it?

Here are two videos with Danny playing with Jackson Browne who had recieved a NAMM TEC Award. G&L did not have any labels on the instruments in the booth, so I will contact them to find out the various body woods they used. That ASAT Special looks an "ink blot test pattern" on the top. I will be posting more photos in the next day or so. Stay tuned.

Re: Some G&L photos from Jan 2018 NAMM
Very awesome pics! Thanks for posting them. Has there been any word of a lefty Doheny Tribute? The lefty community is DYING for an affordable, quality offset.

Re: Some G&L photos from Jan 2018 NAMM
I'm really liking those shots of the Doheny without a pickguard. Think I would want one of them (in lefty of course). And that one shot with the Whiskey frost Doheny with the black pickguard...OOOO BABY!!

If so, it is a special build and the body is Monkey Pod (East Indian Walnut) with a Natural Frost finish. It was already claimed by one G&L's dealers, as were most of the booth instruments on display. I liked it too!

Re: Some G&L photos from Jan 2018 NAMM
Yup that's the one. That's a natural huh? Looks dark for natural. In any event, a whiskey frost over ash with the same pick guard would look sexy as all hell!
Is it possible to order a custom Doheny without a pick guard?

Yup, those would be the ones. Thanks! Didn't see the Invader / XL's listed on the link provided (I'm probably blind), nor on the website. These are new? Any idea when available? Will they have the Modern neck profile and 12" radius?

Re: Some G&L photos from Jan 2018 NAMM
Nothing new on these on the website, any indication if they are going to offer any heel sculpting or 24 fret options? I know they have been after the Suhr market and have yet to really break through to shredders in a big way...

No other options than what is listed in the: January 25, 2018-present G&L U.S. Specifications & Options. Dave Brown is still in the process of updating the new G&L Website. The most up to date info is in the link above.

Re: Some G&L photos from Jan 2018 NAMM
Just now getting around to reading this. Wow! I love those burled woods! Some of the new paint options are pretty doggone nifty as well. I have heard folks jokeingly refer to G&L as the worlds largest custom shop, looking at some of the new items here, it reminds me of that. I really can not afford another guitar, and being a terrible player, I do not need one, but look at that burl!
